1966 Gibson ES-120T

Gibson’s ES-120T was introduced in 1962 and sold well as the company’s entry level thinline electric. The body, neck, bridge, and tailpiece are otherwise similar to the ES-125T, but the melody maker style pickup and electronics are all mounted in a large surface-mounted pickguard, and the treble-side f-hole was eliminated.

This example is in near-mint condition and 100% original. Apart from a little bit of playwear on the pickup casing the guitar is without any significantly worn areas and is set-up perfectly. Frets show very little use and the tuners work without issue. Gorgeous unfaded sunburst finish over maple with brown back and sides, single-bound body, and Indian rosewood fingerboard with 24.75” scale and 1-9/16” width at the nut.
