Even so, if you're looking for a classic hollow body with a fantastic sound, you cannot go wrong with the ES-125 - it's the kind of guitar you own for life once you get one. It's also probably pretty hard to find one in great condition, as I'd imagine that most of them you would find would need at least a little bit of work. While there are definitely some Gibson ES-125's and ES-125T's around today that you can buy, it's not going to be cheap since these are so old. It's really easy to record it because it sounds so great to begin with! I work with an artist who uses this as his main ax and he is mostly playing rhythm parts through a Fender Vibro King and it sounds fantastic. It's that classic hollow body sound for sure and has this really transparent sound that is great for both rhythm and lead parts. The sound of the Gibson ES-125 is outstanding. Getting a good sound is super easy since it sounds amazing to begin with and you don't need to fiddle around much at all with the one pick up.
Since it's only got one pick up it's also really easy to control as there's almost nothing to it. The particular one that I've used was from the early 50's I believe. It's really easy to play, especially for rhythm parts. Playing the Gibson ES-125 is an absolute pleasure as it's got a great feel. It's got a simple configuration with controls for volume and tone for the single pick up that it's got.
It has a single P-90 pick up and was made in the USA as far as I can tell. This guitar is still popular today as it's one of the most popular models from the time period. The Gibson ES-125 is a hollow body, archtop electric guitar from the 1940's and 1950's.
