1968 Gibson ES-125 TDC
Initially introduced in the 1940's as the companies student model archtop guitar, the Gibson ES-125 has had a number of variants over the years, all of which with their own sound and style, making them a hugely popular and relatively affordable vintage Gibson. This 1968 ES-125 TDC is great example of a later period ES-125, with a dual pickup configuration and pointed cutaway design.
This guitar sounds wonderful, with a pair of dog ear P90 pickups that are well balanced and offer a nice woody tone when combined with the guitars hollow body design. The body is finished in a typically '60s Sunburst with a single bound top, tortoise grain guard and trapeze tailpiece.
This guitar is in all original condition and is exceptionally clean for a guitar of its age, with very few cosmetic signs of wear. Also included is a non original hard case.
