Gibson ES-125TDC Model Thinline Hollow Body Electric Guitar (1967), made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, serial # 098207, sunburst top, dark cherry stained back and sides finish, laminated maple body, mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, grey chipboard case.
This is a fairly late example of Gibson's best and most versatile lower-end archtop guitar, from 1967. This ES-125TCD offers two great-sounding P-90 pickups, a thinline cutaway body in a dark sunburst finish and a slim late-60's neck. An unusual feature if this guitar is the Tune-O-Matic bridge mounted directly to the top, on posts like an ES-330. Earlier examples of this model use a wooden bridge making them less adaptable to lighter gauge strings and comparatively difficult to intonate correctly. A very cool guitar, A nice player with a sharper tone than earlier wooden-bridge examples
Overall length is 41 in. (104.1 cm.), 16 in. (40.6 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 13/16 in. (4.6 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 24 3/4 in. (629 mm.). Width of nut is 1 5/8 in. (41 mm.). This guitar shows some general wear overall, with checking to the back and an area to the face under the pickguard where the lacquer was more heavily checked and darkened by outgassing from the celluloid. Currently has an excellent repro guard fitted, with all the original hardware. The neck has been reset, not perfectly cleanly (you can see open finish on some of the the seams) but solidly. A very good player, light, handy and with a strong and ranuchy sound when pushed. Excellent - Condition.
