The ES-125 is the quintessential Gibson jazz guitar. This one is a great player and is also in clean and collectable condition. It features a single dog ear P-90 pickup in the neck position and a 16" laminated maple body. It's had a recent refret and setup so it plays perfectly up the neck. The early 50's dog ear P-90's are surprisingly versatile, most people think of ES-125's as just jazz guitars but they also excel at rock, country, and blues tones.  Sound wise, it is every bit the equal of it's fancier sibling the ES-175. It is all original with the exception of the tailpiece which is a period correct replacement. Comes with a modern HSC.
