Gibson / ES125 Sunburst / 1954 / Guitar

The ES-125 model evolved from the ES-100 model and can be seen here in its second iteration with a dog-ear P90 pickup and dot inlays on the rosewood fingerboard. Many of these ES-125s were stripped of electronics in the 1960s to use the great sounding pickup in Les Paul Juniors. This ES-125 may have fallen victim to that as well and came to us with EMG pickup. Our luthier Harry has provided the guitar with a wonderful Lollar P90 pickup with completely new wiring with quality components. In addition, the workshop has completely restored her by giving this Gibson the necessary maintenance and love. A number of braces were loose and they were reglued just like the mahogany back. It has new Grover three-on-a-plate machine heads that are aged to match the tasteful vintage look. In addition, she already had a refret a while ago and also got a newer tailpiece. This 69 year old Gibson is in very good condition, crack free and very clean. There are traces of use on the body, including a number of blemishes and dings, which is to be expected from a vintage guitar, and that's pretty much it. This is essentially a player's grade guitar and a great one at that, but that is still an understatement for such a classy and svelte looking and feeling instrument that produces such wonderful complex, dry jazz tones.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
