This is an older conversion that was done beautifully. Upon completion, a "D" magically appeared at the end of the ES-125T ink stamp.

**The entire guitars finish was black lighted and is consistent as original throughout. The original knobs also glow under black lighting as they should. One knob has a blank cap**
Condition Description:
This Vintage 1965 Gibson USA ES-125T is a great playing and sounding guitar that is now a 2 pickup and was professionally done long ago utilizing a vintage 1950's P-90 as the second pickup. It does have some scratch's, dings, marks, chips & checking as pictured, but is is a 58 year old vintage guitar and is still very respectable overall. Everything on this guitar is original with the exception of what you've read above. The original pickguard was nicely/professionally modified to accommodate the added pickup. The fingerboard and frets are in very good condition, showing average wear and plays great as it sits (see pics). Could possibly be an old re-fret. There is light buckle rash (see pics). The original finish overall is still nice and shiny, but does have checking and some flaking of the clear coat in a few areas. The original tuners are in good shape and operate as they should. The hardware will show average discoloration as you would expect. All electronics operate perfectly without issue. My pics are very descriptive, so please view them all!

If your a player this ES-125T/D will make a great addition! Although, I think its set up great and plays great as is, everyone has their own preferences. If your not happy with its set up, it will be your responsibility to have it set up to your liking.. The neck is straight and the truss rod operates properly.
