It doesn’t explain how a used pickup got in there or why the guitar wasn’t in its original case.Īnd what about that unscratched scratchplate? It could be new, but it could also have been taken off immediately, before anyone played it. Was it bought and placed under somebody’s bed? An example of the notorious “under the bed” guitar. The most likely explanation for the lack of player wear is the most obvious – the guitar was never played. The chrome (tailpiece and pickguard bracket) is bright and perfect – chrome is correct on a 1965 Gibson. The pickguard is very clean, there aren’t even any surface scratches such as you would expect from somebody playing the guitar with a pick. Then there are the marks on the pickup cover, which show moderate wear – far more than anything else on this guitar. Of course we don’t know how it got there, but it wasn’t through playing, that’s for certain. There is just one ding and it’s on the back of the neck behind the seventh fret and the B string. Too good to be true? A mystery? Let’s be vintage guitar detectives and see if we can work out the story of this guitar. There are no belt buckle marks, no fret wear, no corrosion from sweaty hands, not even any marks from the pick. An unfaded cherry sunburst vintage electric guitar with virtually no player wear. Here’s something you don’t see very often. If you are looking to buy a 60s 125 thinline for investment, collecting and/or playing, then this is the one it should be. Supplied in a modern vintage style hard case with combination lock, they just dont get any better than this one. There is just one ding, it’s on the back of the neck at the 8th fret position behind the b string. Played acoustically (and we implore people to listen to electric guitars without an amp first) this guitar is bright and vibrant. Yes, you could probably play all sorts of styles and sound fabulous, but I like them for jazz, and so did Emily Remler. The single coil is warm and clear – the trebles sing out and the bass has proper depth – you just can’t get this tone with humbuckers. With the warmest tones and just lovely to handle and play, this P-90 equipped thinline hollowbody is gorgeous for jazz. The cherry has barely faded from this cherry sunburst collectible. Stunningly good condition, 100% original single pickup Gibson ES-125 TC thinline cutaway.
