Gibson ES-125 with sticker on back

[Christian Miller]

I take my Gibsons to gigs. I left one in a pub one time and was halfway home before I realised…. Not especially smart. Luckily it was still there. Just as well it was only a ‘68 haha, no one wants those skinny necks.

$4,500 is too expensive for me to gig with. I have a feeling I’m going to be playing Eastman’s for a long time.

Happy to work something out. How about you send me the $$$ and I'll send weekly videos of me gigging with it and telling the audience what a swell guy you are for letting me play your guitar?

I don’t even know what to do with this information. The 125 I played was a dog.

It’s not all bad though, I REALLY enjoyed practicing on my Eastman afterwards.

Sorry it didn’t work out for you.

There are some good 125s out there, but as others have noted not easy to find and have gotten pricey.

IIRC, Dutch Bopper wrote about them some years back, after which I found a decent player grade ‘62 TD in Tokyo, the thin body double P90 model. Not cheap but certainly affordable, and well worth it.

I’ve been playing it regularly at jam sessions.

ES-125s are pretty easy to find online... Prices may vary, but definitely not a rare guitar.

All of Craigslist

also check FaceBook Marketplace.

This one is in Nasvhille... asking $2700, which is about $500 more that the OPs guitar in questions once tax added.
