1947 Gibson ES-125

1947 Gibson ES-125 in excellent condition.  The all mahogany body versions of these were only made for about a year in 1947.  All original except for a refret just done by us.  The slug magnet early P-90 has a huge clear sound.  These are quite a bit more powerful than bar magnet P-90s that came later.  This one interestingly has string balance compensation with a lowered B string pole.  The neck is a perfect round medium shape that is comfortable and fast.  Standard 24 3/4" scale and 1 11/16" nut width.  Handsome trapazoid fingerboard inlays which you only see on the very earliest 16" ES-125s.  Subtle sunburst finish on the dark mahogany body gives it an elegant look.  Includes the top of the line original Geib case too.
