My maz has found its lifetime mate...even if there is over 60 years difference in age: a 1957 Gibson ES125t 3/4. They sound magical together!

To make a long story short, I was out trying some guitars, first time in a year, at www.larkstreetmusic.com/. I was getting ready to make a deal on a different 125 when I spotted the 125 3/4 hanging in the corner. It had not been listed on the website as Buzz, the owner, really liked to play it. We took it down, he could see how much I loved it, and it came home with me! I feel a deep obligation to those who owned it before me and those who will come after to make sure it is well taken cared of...and it will be. And it sounds amazing!

So, like a "May-December" guitar & amp pairing? That's funny... But I bet it sounds great!

I had one of those a long time ago, except mine was a cutaway, if I remember right. The P-90s from that era are usually hot and sound killer. They sound wonderful for slide. The short scale is fun to play.

They eventually made both a cutaway and one with two pickups. Depending upon the year, a cutaway may also have been an es140...
