And a last comment to take away your fears: My ES-125 came to me without any braces, they were gone! I chose not to open the guitar up and put new braces but I opted for a sound post under the...
Can’t resist posting my take on Polka Dots and Moonbeams (in which I worked some stuff I stole from Chris Whitman haha): https://youtu.be/Tc5rFLk_Pjo?si=foFnt_ClHgYMZ0Jg
I have noticed braces becoming unglued. Loose braces can cause the top to sink. A symptom is a very high bridge, so if you see that you better check the braces (a mirror on a stick and a goose neck...
Did you already check my ES-125 group on Facebook? ;-) In my experience the quality of the 125 is very consistent through the years. After the 59 the necks get a bit thinner indeed, but I simply...
Really like the videos in this thread. Very authentic sounding. I love all of the movement between chords and need to learn how to get a handle on that.
Totally agree about Chris Whiteman. Another ES125 player I like is Alex Farran. He has some lessons on YouTube and I’ve signed up for his Patreon page. ...

It's the most common, characteristic, and ideal voicing on piano for G7b9. It's really optimized. It is also most ideal when arranging for a horn section. The guitar is limited to what is within in...
It's not a lack of sophistication, it's a lack of familiarity with how guitar chords are played. Levine's book is essentially for piano, not guitar. A pianist has many more fingers to play with...
The neck is pretty average compared to other guitars I own. Its about 22mm at the 1st fret and 24.3mm at the 9th fret and I would call it a "C" shape neck, so it's rounder and thicker than a Gibson...
It's the very first SRM350 afaik. One knob. Two buttons. The newer ones have some more features -- including WideZ and three channels instead of one. I tried an Alto TX310. Similar issue. One...
