What makes this guitar special:  100% original & first year of production for this wonderful little hollow body.  This gorgeous guitar evokes all the attributes of a regular ES-125T, but in a 3/4 scale size.  These are fairly rare & typically don't last long here at the shop.  Professionally set up & ready to play straight out of the case.

Cosmetic Condition:  Typical condition for a nearly 60-year old guitar with good honest play wear - various nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches, weather checking & some mild finish wear.  Overall the guitar has a great look to it with a beautiful patina.

Neck:  One-piece mahogany neck with cream side-dots.  Brazilian rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays.  Frets show some wear, but have plenty of life in them.  Kluson Deluxe strip tuners are in perfect working condition.  The D & G tuners are both slightly bent, but function properly.  1 9/16" nut width; 23" scale length.  Neck is straight & plays great up & down the fretboard.

Body:  Double-bound, hollow maple body with dual F-holes.  Nickel trapeze tailpiece with floating rosewood bridge.  Long, plexi tortoise pickguard is in great shape with no cracks, but does show some pick wear.  Guitar weighs 4 lbs 4.5 oz.

Pickup:  Dog-ear P-90 single coil with black cover - 8.19K ohms.  Master volume & tone controls with gold "top hat" knobs.  All electronics are in good working condition.

Case:  Unoriginal hardshell case included.
