it does effect a player's opinion and thus collectibility, playability, and even tonal property. if only 39 were produced that year, and they change manufacturing a bit, the neck size, fret size, and pickups…etc. i'm not worried about the value, just how many were produced.
#1950 gibson es 125 full
Yes it is a full body, not the thin line. Good guitars though (with one of the iconic pickup designs), and the important thing is that you're using it and enjoying it.Īgree w/all Jim said, though depending on what time of the year it was made a '59 will have the perfect medium size neck that a lot of people desire.
#1950 gibson es 125 serial number
The serial number doesn't indicate anything about the production total, if that's what you meant.Īt any rate, ES-125's were lower-end, mass produced guitars, not rare or highly desirable to most collectors. Other than the occasional collector who might want a '59 because they were born that year, nobody is going to pay more for a '59 than a '58 just because fewer were made in '59. In other words, if they had indeed only made 39 ES-125's in 1959 (instead of 1,674), while making 1,528 in 1958, and 739 in 1960, that wouldn't make the '59 examples more desirable or valuable. What's more important in terms of rarity and value is how many were produced in total (all years of production). Too many people (dealers and collectors alike) put too much importance on of the number of instruments produced during a given year. If you're not sure it's a '59, what is the serial number? Is there an "S" stamped in front of the factory order number? Not sure why you chose to post only data about the thin-line versions of the ES-125, since the question only referred to an "ES-125".Īnyway, there were 1,674 full depth ES-125's produced in 1959.
