📍 Houston, TX | 📦 Worldwide Shipping | 💬 Se habla Español

Step back into the golden era of Gibson with this incredible 1963 Gibson ES-120T, a thinline hollowbody electric with rich vintage tone, featherweight feel, and that unmistakable 60s vibe. Featuring a laminated maple body, mahogany neck, and classic Sunburst finish, this beauty has aged gracefully with all the character and mojo you’d want from a nearly 60-year-old guitar.

Equipped with the original Melody Maker single-coil pickup, it delivers woody cleans and crisp articulation, perfect for jazz, blues, or lo-fi vintage rock. The thin full-hollow construction keeps things light and resonant, while the short scale and rosewood fretboard make for a comfy ride.
