Gibson ES125 ¾ Size Sunburst - 1961
By Gibson
Take a good look at this one; it’s a tiny ¾ size guitar! This were the student version of its big brother the ES125T back in the day, and made with the same construction, but smaller. It’s in amazing condition and it’s easy to see it hasn’t seen much playing time over the years. On that note; it’s super-easy to play, although everything is smaller, it would be the perfect couch guitar, studio recording guitar or if you’re always laying around in bed and can’t be stuffed getting up, then this guitar would probably work in that situation too. Plug it in and it’s “toy-like“ manner soon disappears! The original P90 pickup sounds beautiful and if you weren’t looking at this pint-sized weapon, you’d think you were listening to a full-size guitar! Shipping totals say 1582 left the factory between 1957 to 1970 and in 1961, only 132 were made. I would be using this one in a recording situation where I know its quality sound would suit different parts in songs. This rare and amazing little time-capsule comes with a non-original hard shell case.
