It truly doesn't get any simpler or more elegant than this, and whether you're playing complex Jazz chords or wanting a powerful and present tone for a bit of Americana twang and snarl, this ES-125 is an excellent choice. The pickup is wound quite hot, reading 7.83k ohms and delivering the growl and midrange content associated with this pickup design. Fully hollow with an arched maple top and back, mahogany sides, and a full 16 1/4" lower bout, the ES-125 is a classic, golden-era Gibson Jazz Box, with a warm and articulate P-90 tone. This guitar is 100% original aside from newer knobs and a set of replacement tuner buttons, with a vibrant two-tone sunburst finish and stock P-90 pickup. The long elegant description on the site is doubly ridiculous given the store's proclaimed expertise, and I'd probably let them know that it at least seems deceptive.Up for sale, a 1953 Gibson ES-125 in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Some forgiving words have been offered here, but it's not like a Craigslist seller put it up. Re: the placement of the knobs.I've seen slight asymmetry in the setting of these before, but this one takes the cake. It's ironic to me that the store in question is in Nashville, which is the home of Gruhn Guitars (one of the centers of the vintage guitar world), and so much vintage guitar history. If people are going to handle vintage guitars in their shops, they reallly should educate themselves. That's not being mean, that's just a fact. In a case like this where it's really pretty obvious (I mean right off the bat, with that 1930's/40's style headstock script) that this guitar was not a 1961 Gibson, let alone an original ES125, I would definitely not say that those folks "know their stuff" (at least as it pertains to vintage Gibsons). Still, you can be honest and have integrity, but still lack knowledge and expertise. Treating people well and being honest are very important. I know what you mean, and it's great that they're good guys.
And that is ok! Don't hook your pride on whether or not it is a '61 125. Most importantly, there is always someone that knows more. In my opinion, dating vintage Gibsons is an art and always up for discussion.
In this case they were not correct and instead of accepting that fact they decided to stick to their guns. The point of that post was not to bust Music City Pickers.
