I rescued a 1965 ES-125TC from a small music store, just before they closed their doors. But it was not going to be mine.at least not for another 40 years. Despite the tuner change and name scratched on the back of the head, the guitar looks to have been well cared for.As a child, I worshiped the 125TCD hanging from the wall at the local music store. I'm not a pickup expert, so I'll leave that question for someone else, but they certainly look the part.Īll in all, it's a very nice looking example. Pickups are of course one part that many people like to modify. Your tuners are not original to the guitar, but they are very nice Grover Rotomatics, so not necessarily a bad thing. Your gold headstock logo is probably a decal, and looks correct for a low end model such as this.
Gibson es 125 tcd serial number#
We can wait and see what FON number you find inside, but it looks like yours is probably from late 1960 to 1961, based on the control knobs (if original), the lack of a serial number on the head, and the brown (rather than reddish) sunburst. So, I edited the information there today. I followed your link to the Wikipedia page, and noticed how confusingly some of it was written. Hi Tio, sorry for the delay in responding to your posts. Thanks in advance for your comments guys. A luthier can touch up the Jordan nonsense too i guess. I already have a late 50s to early 60s P90 and on the hunt for another to restore this beautty. I'm pretty sure the P90s are japanese made and not Gibson as i've seen them before. Click on the link to see the whole album.
Gibson es 125 tcd free#
Pearl logo: Dot on "i" free from "G": 1951-presentĭoes that look like a silkscreened logo which puts it before 1954 or is it a decal? Pearl logo: Dot on "i" connected to "G": 1948-1951 Pearl logo: open "b" and "o": 1984-present
Pearl logo: "pantograph" style, closed "b" and "o": 1969-1984 The post-war logo has the "G" and the "N" with a tail that drops below the other letters. "Post-war" Gibson block logo used 1948-present. Post-war block Gibson logo, Pearl or Gold. Still both dates do not match a silkscreened logo as they were only used between 1947-1954 according to the following info: To me it looks like it is silkscreened and not a sticker, but according to ( ) the TCD model came out only in 1960, whereas wikipedia ( ) says that ES-125TCD (D = Double p90 pickups) versions available starting in 19, respectively. What puzzles me though is the Gibson logo. Looks like a 32, and i'll be able to read the rest of that number when she's here.Ĭoncerning the date of manufacture it should be a 61 or earlier since the FON was used and there is no serial number on the headstock from 1941-1961. The guitar is right now in transit but after checking the pickup shots he sent to me i spotted a number at the edge of one of the F-holes. Following my previous post and some research concerning my newly bought ES-125TCD, I figured there is actually a number stamped in the guitar that the seller did not seem to find.
