Description

This 1957 ES-125 is an excellent example of its kind, in great playing condition and largely original, aside from replaced tuners, bridge, and strap button, as well as the addition of a strap pin at the heel. Cosmetically, it has the character you'd expect from a guitar approaching its 70th year. Notably, there’s a gouge in the side near the end block and some areas where the binding has separated and been reglued. Acoustically, it’s very resonant and loud, and it truly shines when plugged in with its original P-90. A non-original hard shell case is included.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
