Gibson / ES-120T / 1964 / Sunburst / Guitar
The ES-120T was marketed as a student model when introduced by Gibson in the early 1960s. It’s electronics, including a single-coil similar to what was used on Gibson's Melody Makers, were entirely mounted on the pickguard to speed up assembly at the factory. The thinline archtop construction amplified through the bright singlecoil gives these guitars a distinctive character that is very well suited for rhythm/strumming chords.
This 1964 guitar is in good condition. The finish has hardly crazed and the burst is nicely graded. The original wooden bridge top was replaced with a '60s tune-o-matic. There are two small plugged holes near the bridge, it appears a previous owner at some time fitted bridge studs. The pickguard has some glued cracks but is solid. The frets are still perfectly usable. The neck shape is very comfortable, not overly wide at the nut and quite full and rounded.
