1960 Gibson 3/4 ES-125T [*Demo Video]

1960 Gibson 3/4 scale ES-125 Thinline in original condition. The single-pickup ES-125 was released as a student model with a 22.75" scale length - ideal for young students or people with smaller hands. This guitar produces a chime-y, woody tone with an excellent resonance which is represented flawlessly by the fantastic-sounding "Dog-ear" P90 when you plug it in! In great overall shape with light dinging and finish checking. A super fun and compact guitar! Includes original chip case and hangtag.

"Well into my adult years now, I still feel a sharp impulse to jump onto a coin-operated horse every time I see one out in front of a grocery store. If you can relate to this, I would guess you’d have a hard time walking past this trio without snatching one up.

Looking like one hell of a mid century Christmas morning, this collection is a scaled down summary of Gibson’s guitar offerings at the time. For the young gospel singer, an LG 3/4. The aspiring jazz cat is more than covered with a 3/4 ES-125. Feel the need to rebel against your parents while perforating your own ear drums? The 3/4 Les Paul Special will infuriate 4/4 of your closest neighbors. The 22.75” scale may sound too short for some, but reasonably wide necks and full-size hardware make these “student” instruments feel equally at home on the couch with a full sized human. What a perfect opportunity to pick up another vintage Gibson under the guise of providing your kids with a musical education." - Tyler Geske
