Overall Great Condition. New Kluson Tuners Installed, Body and Fretboard Cleaned and Conditioned, Frets Polished, Pots and Jacks Cleaned. This beauty looks, plays, and sounds incredible! Just a few tiny body dings too small to picture. The finish is glossy and bright. This is an exceptional example of an early ES-125. Includes original hang tag and chip board case. The case unfortunately is not in the best of shape with most hinges broken off.

This is believed to be a 1954 but the stamped serial number is long gone so we can't guarantee that.

It is known for a 24.75-inch scale length, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays, and a trapeze tailpiece, offering a warm, resonant, "bread and butter" vintage tone.
