![]() Inside, the electronics are all correct and both pickups are working really well with all the bite, quack, growl and warmth you expect from vintage P-90’s. There are a few scratches here and there which isn’t surprising but all in all this is a very clean guitar. There does seem to be some feint evidence of another set of tuners being installed on the guitar but thankfully the correct tuners have been reinstated. The original frets and fretboard are in good shape without any extreme wear. The faux-tortoise shell pickguard hasn’t warped. The tailpiece and rosewood bridge are in fantastic condition as are the plastics. ![]() ![]() The cherry finish on this guitar has weathered well and is still quite vivid as is the back. Included is an envelope that contains the original receipt from when the guitar was purchased new, in 1963. What you do get here is a great sounding and stylishly understated thinline electric guitar in the spirit of the classic ES-330’s and ES-225’s. The neck and pickguard are unbound and the headstock is the free of any unnecessary artist flourishes. The accoutrements are basic, in fact the only real adornment is the binding around the body. As student models go, you wouldn’t mind taking delivery of anything coming out of Kalamazoo duding the 50’s or early 60s and this near MINT, 1963 ES-125 TDC certainly punches above its weight.
