Description

You buy an ES-125 and you get a dependable, great-sounding guitar full of vintage character. This one has been going steady since the 1950s and although it has medium-heavy wear and tear (as pictured) it still retains all its fine original features, including all the nickel hardware, pickguard, and that oh-so desirable Brazilian-faced rosewood neck and fingerboard only ever found on the early guitars. Even the original knobs are still present and correct! The tuner buttons (that's the white oval bit that you turn, not the actual tuner mechanism) have been replaced somewhere down the line.

You'll be hard-pressed to find a guitar of such a fine vintage for such a great price. To understand exactly how much of a bargain this 125 is, it helps to hear the classic jazz sounds this box delivers. We've strung it with D'Addario jazz 12s to complement that classic P90 jazz tone and we guarantee you won't be disappointed. Supplied in the original soft shell case.
