I traded a Martin acoustic and an Epiphone Sheraton for the Gibson. I just fell in love with the vibe and sound of this particular instrument. I am certainly no expert in the vintage market, however. D (Double Pickup) models included a 3 position toggle switch to select each pickup individually or both pickups simultaneously. The older (late50s to early 60s) ES-125T 3/4 Gibbies are going from 1200-1500 if you can find them. 022 microfarads was used for the tone circuit. Volume and tone controls were 500k Audio taper pots.

Thread starter radiohead625 Start date 1 2 Next. The model was fitted with a bar pickup characterized by its rounded bobbin ends and fastened to the top with three adjustable screws. Since the fingerboard sits flush to the body (as opposed to an ES-175) the ES-125 requires a shorter neck pickup than a typical dogear. Ward’s Gibson-built 1270 was a 16 1 /4 archtop with f holes and a solid spruce top (originally pressed rather than carved), maple back and sides, and finished with a brown sunburst shading on top. The ES-125 also used a tapered dogear cover for their neck position pickups with a thickness of 4/16" on the treble side and 5/16" on the bass side. ES-125 T 3/4 similar to ES-125 T, except has a 3/4 size body, 22 3/4 in.
