This Gibson 1959 ES125T is part of the private collection of J Mascis.
The Gibson ES-125T was introduced in in 1956. It was presented as an alternate thinline version of the Gibson ES-125.
It was originally at the introductory Gibson price point. This guitar was largely considered a student or beginner guitar at the time. After 13 years of moderate success and popularity Gibson ultimately discontinued the ES-125T in 1969. With a 16 3/4" Laminated Maple Body topped with Gibson's classic Tobacco Sunburst this guitar bares a very familiar and vintage look. The classic vintage look of this instrument is only icing on the cake for this guitar. The Laminated Maple allows for an incredible tone before it is even plugged in. This body build creates a more accurate and controlled tone. It also allows the P90 pickup and vintage electronics and wiring to really shine.
Although considered a "Student" Model this guitar features fine appointments. These include a Brazilian Rosewood Fretboard, Pearl Dot Inlays, Mahogany Neck, Nickel Plated Tail Piece. It also had Kluson Deluxe tuners with white oval plastic buttons, height adjustable Brazilian Rosewood bridge. It's finished off with a Tortoise Pickguard, and a black plastic covered single coil, "dogear" P-90.
For a vintage instrument this 59 Gibson ES-125T is probably in the best condition of any guitar in J's shop. Excellent sound both plugged in and acoustic, this guitar will prove excellent on the stage, in the studio, on the couch or on the road. Some scuffing and rash on the top and bottom sides. There are several marks around the input jack. One small nick on the headstock. We have done our best to capture these in the photographs here on the listing. Pots are clean and date correct. Neck is straight as an arrow and a beautiful sunburst finish. Polish this badboy up and timewarp back to 1959.
Ships in an OHSC which (unfortunately) is missing the handle.
All items in J's Reverb Shop ship fully insured with a signed and embossed Certificate Of Authenticity by J Mascis.
