Here's some quick picks I took at the pawnshop I'd also like to know if these could be ordered with the Bigsby or were they on installed as an aftermarket add on. This guy's had the guitar for weeks and supposedly looked it up, and was also told by the guy who pawned it, that it was a '66.Īre there any of you guys that are familiar with these 60's 330's to confirm it's a '63? I just want to make sure that it's a '63. I have a local buyer for 3 of my guitars that should get me enough money by this weekend to score this. He said the lowest he'd go would be $2300. I called him up today and asked if I can get the money by Monday, would he take a little less.
#1963 gibson es 125 tdc hollow body electric value serial number#
I've searched on the internet, and the serial number keeps coming up as a 1963. I said I had to take pics and get the serial number to do some investigating.
He said yea,but he wouldn't take less than $2500 for it. Now the manager told me it was a '66 and I asked if he wanted to sell it. The manager told me he'd taken in and bought for himself a vintage Gibson. I stopped by yesterday at one of the pawnshops I frequent.

Well, it's up to you.Please note that effective immediately we have updated the Emporium Rules for payment options. In the end i bought neither as my ES295 already did the job although it is not nearly as nice as both the Godin and the Gibson. Now, if it was the only guitar i ever wanted and needed i probably wouldve gone for the Gibson. The Gibson ES175 was old and had lots of charm, the Godin was new for 1/3 of the money. Yes, you can go out and buy a 1950s ES for big money if you wish and feel it's worth it.īut is it going to sound, feel that much better than a Godin Kingpin? I not only doubt it i KNOW it doesnt, having played both. I would concentrate on the neck in particular. Suffice to say that you can get a good or even great sounding electric hollow body guitar between $500 and $1000 unless you have specific wishes. I do NOT want to open up that particular can of worms. You can pick your price and usually, the more you spend the nicer, better the guitar until you run against a wall of diminishing returns. Guitars DO differ even within brands.įor electrified hollow bodies it becomes quite hard to assess how it's going to sound. Neither guitar is a true ES175 clone, both were inspired by them.Ī friend of mine who runs a guitar shop hand picked my ES295 out of a bunch. It has that lush sound of a good jazz guitar I put a set of the SD Benedetto jazz pickups in it, but P90's certainly could have been an option It has two spruce beams which support the pickups and bridge like a 175 has.
View attachment 768901 View attachment 768902 It is a laminated molded spruce top like a 175 and laminated maple b&s. The guitars sound like a cross between an archtop and a large flat top, maybe a jumbo. I hedged my bets by putting a set of piezo acoustic pickups in while I had the back off We talked about pickup options, including a P90 and he said he would never plug it in. It has a few special touches at the request of my friend. The guitar is Lutz spruce over mahogany, built more or less like a flat top acoustic. A friend told me he wanted "an acoustic guitar that looked like an ES-175".
