'55 ES-140, '59 ES-125T, '60 LG-2

The ES (for Electric Spanish) line had been around for some time, and had included these 3/4 scale models for a number of years by the end of the 50's. The ES-140 is the version with the full depth body and is discussed in further detail in the "ES-140 vs Les Paul" post. This one had a factory cherry burst refinish on the arched top in '63 and the black pickup cover was replaced with chrome at the same time. Otherwise, it is original and had one previous owner. The ES-125T (for "thin") is a good example of a 50's Gibson non-cutaway electric archtop. This one is all original, including the case, and is a great player. The LG-2 was the only 3/4 scale acoustic made during the period and this one is all original, including the case. It is sometimes referred to as the "Woody Guthrie" model and Gibson recently began to reissue the guitar as the "Arlo Guthrie" model .
