For your consideration is this beautiful 1966 Gibson ES-125TDC, a true vintage classic from Gibson’s golden era. This fully hollow, thinline model embodies everything players love about mid-’60s Gibson electrics — lightweight, resonant, and effortlessly expressive.

Overall, the guitar is in very good vintage condition. It shows honest, age-appropriate cosmetic wear consistent with a well-cared-for instrument of this era. The finish has developed a wonderful vintage character, with natural signs of use that only add to its authenticity and appeal.

Equipped with its original factory P-90 pickups, this ES-125TDC delivers the unmistakable tone that has made these guitars so desirable. The pickups are clear, warm, and articulate, with that signature P-90 bite and a rich, musical growl when pushed. From smooth jazz lines to gritty blues and vintage rock tones, this guitar responds beautifully across a wide range of styles.

Playability is excellent, featuring comfortable low action and little to no fret wear. The neck feels fantastic in hand, making this an inspiring instrument whether you’re recording, gigging, or adding a premium vintage piece to your collection.

Vintage Gibson hollow bodies from this period continue to rise in popularity, and this ES-125TDC is a wonderful example — offering classic looks, exceptional tone, and superb feel.

A fantastic opportunity to own a genuine mid-’60s Gibson that’s ready to be enjoyed for decades to come.

Comes with a non original hard case. (270)

Condition, Shipping, & Setup Details:

I specialize in selling pre-owned guitars, which typically show signs of regular use. My commitment to quality is unwavering, and I ensure that any guitar I offer for sale is free from problems, unless explicitly mentioned. With a history of selling guitars dating back to the 1980s, I pride myself on selecting only the finest instruments.


It's important to understand that our shipping fees encompass more than just the cost of the box. I guarantee professional packaging using UPS-approved materials to safeguard your purchase. This typically includes new, heavy-duty boxes rated at 275lbs, 3-inch wide brown fiberglass reinforced tape, ensuring the guitar is well-protected. Additionally, every guitar shipped is fully insured for its sale price.


The guitars are set up according to my personal preferences (Medium Height), and I strictly avoid guitars with neck issues. However, guitar setup is highly subjective, and it is advisable to have it adjusted by a trusted local technician who understands your specific playstyle and preferences.
