With its larger body and longer neck, the 150 is one of very few electricguitars that can hold its own both amplified and unplugged. The action may be lowered or raised to your requirements with the adjustable bridge. Originally a 16' guitar, the ES-150 was upsized after the war to L-5dimensions, with a 17' lower bout and the longer 25.5' scale. String action is set at 5/64" to 6/64" at the 12th fret, with moderate relief for acoustic playing with medium strings. The guitar will accommodate lighter or heavier gauge strings, according to preference. Setup: This instrument is strung with medium gauge nickel roundwound strings (.012-.054). A solid player for jazz, swing or blues, the ES-125 remains by far the best value in a true vintage Gibson archtop. As these guitars were originally shipped in flimsy softshell cases, the owner has thoughtfully provided a sturdy plush hardshell case for its protection. The Jason Lollar P-90 pickup provides smooth classic single-coil tone, with enhanced feedback suppression and microphonic noise resistance. Some normal light checking confirms its sunburst finish is 100% authentic. This example is in superb condition, without pick, buckle or thumbwear, and has been fitted with immaculate medium-jumbo frets. The laminated body offers superior feedback resistance, and the guitar produces a respectable acoustic tone for playing unplugged. With its clear P-90 pickup and fast 24 1/2" scale, the ES-125 offered true Gibson quality and playability at an affordable price. Notes: Introduced in 1938 as the ES-100, the ES-125 was renamed in 1941, and remained in continuous production for over 30 years.
