1967 gibson es 125 serial#

The es-125tc is electric through and through. To me the 5th ave feels and plays like an acoustic and has a flat 16' fingerboard radius and can be played unplugged in accompaniment (though a dreadnought can roll all over you volume wise). I have a 1 PU/No cutaway Godin 5th Ave (3' depth very thin resonant ply top), which I like a lot, but it is a very different beast than the 60's 125 Thinlines (ca. My first electric was an early 60's es-125tc (on loan from my guitar teacher for a couple of years). I wish Gibson would do a ES-125TC Studio. If everything is as it should be than he can name a price but I am getting the impression that he does not want to put anything into it. I told my freind to tell her friend that he best take the guitar to a luthier and have everything checked and set up with new strings. Any cash for the guitar would have been a win. Remember this guitar was heading for the dump site. Of course the guy thinks he has a gold mine now and won't take anything less than$1,500 for the guitar. But the back of it vcould have been all split and the pick guard is nitro cellulose so who knows if there was any damage cause by it shrinking or chemical reaction. Looks like it was in good condition but I have not seen it in person, I had no idea if the electrics worked. Long story short it was a 1952 ES-125 in sunburst from the one picture I saw.

She came to me with the serial # and said it was a Gibson. He took it and asked my friend if she knows anybody who knows guitars. Yesterday, a freind of mine had a freind of hers call her about a guitar a lady gave him becuase she was going to throw it out (he works for 1800GOTJUNK). So, anyone have experience with the cutaway, and the action? They sound to me more like accoutics than hollowbody electrics.ДЇunny you should mention this. Good for slide, but I could never play it that way with the fingers. In regards to the Godin, I only played a single pickup, non cutaway, and the strings were really high at the 12 fret. Like the sound of the old P90's, thats why I am goin that way. Not being a tec guy, any advice on the pitfalls of these guitars.

My question is, since they are older guitars, what are some of the things I need to look out for when trading/purchasing? I know the neck/heel joints come loose, and have seen some sloppy repair jobs, and I read that the tops can flatten out over time. But want the action at a place I can do both. I would use it mainly for slide, aka George Thorogood, duane allman stuff. On ebay, its hard to tell what yuo get, and the prices are all over the board, 850 to 3000. For years I have wanted a ES 125TDC, but cant come accross them here. Mine is worth about 1250, an older strat.
