Description
This version of the ES-125 was made only for a brief period from about 1965 until 1970 & features a Florentine cutaway with a P-90 in the neck position. Acoustically the guitar has an earthy, woody tone to it, but plugged in, the P-90 really comes alive & delivers warm, rich, dynamic tones. Professionally set up with fresh strings & low action, so it plays & sounds fantastic!
Cosmetic Condition: Good honest play wear just the way we like them - various little nicks, chips, dents & dings; scratches & weather checking. Overall the guitar has a wonderful, authentic vintage vibe with a gorgeous patina.
Neck: Slender profile mahogany neck with cream side-dots. Beautiful rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays. One of the dots in the 12th fret appears to be newer.
