Those who want to look like John Biscuti needs one of these babies!

Here's your new guitar

Don't know if I want to look like him, but I'd love to be his age knowing what I know now-haha
(Not that there's anything wrong with the way he looks)

Hey, cool guitar!

One of the benefits of the "plain jane" ES-125 (the one I have) is that the body is really thick, and the guitar has an unbelievable acoustic sound. I've done several acoustic recordings using the Gibson instead of my Martin - it sounds that good.

I haven't had any sort of feedback issues with mine when using it live, so I would advise anyone who's interested in one of these to stick with the big bodied 125 (no cutaway either). However, I do see the appeal of this - the thin body would certainly be more comfortable.

Not sure about that bridge - looks odd to me.

The neck p-90 sounds amazing and is way more versatile than I expected it to be. Not just for jazz!

None original Schaller roller bridge but that is easily fixed. Looks to be a whole lot of mojo on this one.

The ES125-TDC is the "George Thorogood model". Same as the guitar for sale, but with two pickups.

Mine is a 1961 ES125-T - thinline, single P90, non-cutaway. Unplugged it's louder than you'd expect a thinline to be. Plays and sounds like a dream. ****** tuners (Kluson Deluxe), but I don't want to mess with a vintage original so I didn't replace them.

Near mint (except for one non-original strap button at the heel), I bought it off eBay for $899.

Just up the road from me JB...

Let me know!
