This 1955 Gibson ES-125 is the definition of a vibey, player-grade vintage guitar. With its well-loved appearance, thoughtful modifications, and unmistakable 1950s Gibson character, this is an instrument that has clearly lived a life and has plenty more music left in it.

Originally equipped with a single P-90 pickup in the neck position, this example has been modified with the addition of a bridge pickup and a second set of volume and tone controls. These modifications expand the guitar's tonal possibilities beyond the original single-pickup configuration, offering additional versatility while retaining the open, woody response of a vintage hollowbody.

The guitar also has a repaired headstock wing separation. The repair is structurally sound and adds another chapter to the instrument's history. Combined with its modifications and vintage wear, it's exactly the kind of character that makes a great player-grade guitar so appealing.

The guitar plays and sounds great, delivering the warmth, articulation, and natural resonance that make these early Gibson archtops so enjoyable. With its modified electronics, genuine 1950s construction, and unmistakable vintage personality, this ES-125 is a fantastic example of a guitar that's meant to be played rather than kept in a case.

Includes a hardshell case.
