MOJO ~ VIBE ~ COOLNESS ALERT !!

1956 Gibson ES-125 in Good/Very Good Condition. Has been completely setup and plays great! Electronics function quietly and properly. Structurally sound and solid. Has checking, scratches and wear typical of a 70 year old instrument. Was played out through it's early years but has spent the last 30+ years in retirement. Comes with a chipboard case that's been with it for most of it's journeys. Not an original from Gibson.

The Gibson ES-125 is a vintage hollowbody electric archtop guitar produced by Gibson from 1941 to 1970. Originally launched as an affordable student-level instrument, it features a laminated maple body, a trapezoid tailpiece, and a single dogear P-90 pickup. Today, it is prized for its warm, woody tone.

• The ink-stamped code V 6573 28 inside this guitar indicates it is a 1956 Factory Order Number (FON) from Gibson's Kalamazoo factory. This specific code indicates that it was produced in the 6,573rd batch of that year and was the 28th instrument in that sequence
