Hi all. Selling my Gibson!I know its not a mac but i would consider trading it for one!
let me know what you have!

Here are the details!

1959 Gibson ES-125
Serial Number:S8519 10

Really nice shape for a guitar this old. Has a single original P90 pick-up. Awesome tone!!! Comes with a brand new case that is made for arch top guitars like this.
Everything is original EXCEPT , the guy who owned it before me (a guitar maker) took out the original pick-up and put in an active pick-up. He also installed a small switch to change the tone of that pick-up. When he sold the guitar he replace the active pick-up with the original. He re-installed the original wiring also. The only thing he didn?t do was take out the switch. I was going to do this but ive never had time as it involves filling the hole where the switch was. I don?t think the switch looks bad as its quite small and was installed by a professional. Other than that its what you?d expect from a guitar this old. QUALITY!!!

As for price ,I would like to get $650 for this. Shipping would be extra as I?d like to put insurance on this in case anything happened.

So, tell all your friends and let me know!!!

He drilled a hole in the top? What kind of butcher was this guy?

You don't do that to a classic guitar. it destroys any value as a classic, and turns it into just a used guitar. (You've priced it properly as such- good job on that)

What he should have done if he'd had any sense was use the switch in a push-pull pot so that no changes could be detected when he reverted it back.

Do you have pictures of this guitar on line?
