not sure what to do with this one, not sure of the value. If anyone here is interested let me know, if anyone has info on these, help a brother out.

I had a 1958 es-225 that is basically the same guitar but has the cutaway like a es-175. I sold it two years ago for $1100 ( which was great because I paid $250 at pawn shop) The Vintage Guitar Price 2007 values yours at $1200 low condition and $1500 exc condition. They are great guitars, with killer fat LP jr necks. The only weird thing I thought was the pickup positioning. This is truly a Jazz-box. Hope this helps! :blink:

Brian,

I got this old Tube Tester that needs a new home...plus, you might not owe me much cash if we trade! :blink:

Thanks, that does help some. It surely would do the jazz thing.

Is it a thin body? Then it would be stamped in the F-hole ES-125TD.

no, it's the deep body, ES 125. It is a '59 according to the Factory Order Number.
