For Sale: 1966 Gibson ES-125 ¾ – Rare Model & Incredible Player!

A beautifully preserved vintage Gibson! This 1966 ES-125 ¾ is a rare model that delivers the warm, dynamic tone these hollow-body archtops are known for.

Most of these guitars are not known as great players — they often buzz in the higher register and lack balance. This one is all original except for a professional refret, which makes it play like a dream: smooth, clean, and perfectly balanced across the entire neck. A true standout that combines collector-grade originality with modern playability.

The guitar is in remarkable condition for its age, with only a few very small scratches and small bumps. It resonates beautifully, both acoustically and plugged in, and comes with a nice padded gig bag.

  • Rare ¾-size Gibson ES-125 model
  • All original except for the refret
  • Plays beautifully – balanced everywhere, buzz-free
  • Comes with a nice padded gig bag

This 1966 ES-125 ¾ is the perfect blend of collectible vintage Gibson and a truly inspiring player’s guitar. A rare opportunity to own one of Gibson’s most charming and unique hollow-body models in outstanding condition.
