1960 Gibson ES-125 TCD – Sunburst
We present an all original 1960 Gibson ES-125 TCD in Sunburst finish. Made in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
This is a rare and early 1960 Gibson ES-125 TCD. It was Gibson’s most versatile lower-end archtop guitar. It features a cutaway laminated maple body, a one-piece mahogany neck, and a beautiful dark rosewood fingerboard with pearl dot inlays. Two great-sounding P-90 pickups that are hot and well-balanced. This is a very comfortable neck shape — not the 1960 slim-taper neck, but somewhere between a 1959 and 1960 profile. Standard trapeze tailpiece and an adjustable wooden bridge.
Overall, this vintage semi-hollow guitar is in excellent, clean condition. The finish shows some minor nicks, dings, and other cosmetic playwear. The headstock face has some minor edge chips, and a chipped corner has been glued back. The original tuners are in perfect working order and include the original white cream tuner buttons. Otherwise, the neck is as clean as it can be, with no breaks or repairs. The original frets have been crowned, so there’s still plenty of life left in them. Even comes with a sales receipt from the 1970s.
It’s 100% original throughout – Just as it left the Kalamazoo factory back in 1960.
Pickups and the electronics/wiring remain untouched and intact, with no broken solder joints and no re-wound pickups. All original and correct.
Comes complete with its original and more desirable brown hardshell case with pink interior. Latches and handle are in perfect working order.
