Description:
Up for sale is a Vintage 1953 Gibson ES-125 hollowbody electric guitar. This guitar was purchased locally from the orginal owner. It has LITERALLY been sitting in a closet for the last 40 years!! I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER 50's ES-125 THIS CLEAN!! THIS IS A TRUE COLLECTOR'S PIECE!! ALL HARDWARE, PICKGUARD, KNOBS & ELECTRONICS are 100% ORIGINAL!! The buttons on the tuners have been changed because the original ones had dried and cracked, however the orginal ones are included in the auction. The finish is immaculate. NO CRACKS or BREAKS!! The neck set is perfect. Our in house tech recently buffed, polished, & set-up this guitar with flatwound 12's (a $100 value)!! Neck is straight and the action is low. There are 2 small chips at the top of the headstock, but that is the only blemishes really worth mentioning. Finish has naturally aged and checked as you would expect and want!! Please See Pics!! You'll mostly likely never see another in as good a condition with the original case and vibra-rest anytime soon!!
