for any '50s - 60's guitars, try and play as many different years as possible as the neck profile changes several times between mid 50's - mid 60's. Also starting late '64 / ear'y '65 the nut width decreases from 1 11/16" to 1 9/16"... that's a big difference that may affect how comfortable the guitar is to play to different players.

ES-300s generally sell n the 3-4k range, just check completed/sold listings, not asking prices.

A lot of old archtops w raised fingerboard extension suffer from this issue.

Check out forum member's Little Jay's videos for what an ES-125 can do.

Yep. The fun begins, exploring the options, one of them being having it built by Maurice Dupont (the Saint-Louis model).

I recently played one of the new Guild T-50 and it was very, very nice. They should do a version with full body depth.
I'd probably replace the PU with a Fralin noiseless P90. All the recent Korea made Guilds I played are great value for the price IMO.
(I have one of the new Bluesbirds.)
