Clean or overdriven it just sings.Ī little history: Gibson introduced the ES-125 in 1938 as the ES-100, later renaming it as the ES-125 in 1941. Soloists will enjoy this pickup just as much and single line playing has a rich and detailed quality that you just can’t get with anything other than a P-90. The single black P-90 pickup sounds as clear as a bell and lends itself very well to articulate chord work and rhythm playing. Chords and single-lines alike are very comfortable to play and thanks to the adjustable compensated bridge you can set the guitar action up exactly as you’d like too. You really have to try this neck to fully appreciate why it plays the way it does and we certainly share JP’s affection for it. This ES-125TC guitar features the highly sought after ’61 neck profile, offering a slightly wider and flatter radius that found favour with many guitar players including Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page. It also sounds incredible acoustically as well as plugged-in. It has great versatility and works well in almost any style of traditional guitar playing, from Blues and Rock through to Jazz and Swing styles.

JGG have long been fans of the ES-125 and it remains one of our most popular models of Gibson guitar.
