Hey all, would it be worth it to try and raise the action a bit and dress the frets up a touch with a Z file? This is a 1964 ES-125 TC, the neck is really sweet and the tuners are in really good shape for its age. Its almost like they got polished a little to far. I am still trying to get set up on a photo sharing sight to post some pictures. I kind of like the way it plays with it that low. Also is there a general rule for the bridge location front to back? This is my first Gibson, and also my first archtop. Looking to start working on some Jimmy Reed.

Going to give the Stringjoy Broadways a try. 11/48 mediums.

Hey all, new here and already done the introduction post. I just got my first Gibson last week, 1964 ES-125 TC Cherry Burst. Its not completely original but was in pretty good shape for the year. Just need a couple of recommendations. I am new to arch tops and the floating bridge. I was kind of blown away on how low the action was and just some of the other items, this is also my first vintage axe also. Not pleased with the strings on it and looking for a suggestion or two. I was told that the wiring was redone and that the P90 in there now is an Epiphone. The guy said it measured in the low 7's. I tend to like P90's on the hot side 8+, so that is the other recommendation I am looking for. If I can water down one of my photos, I will get it posted up.

Hey all, just signed up. Picked up my first Gibson last week and have some questions and what not. I picked up a 1964 ES-125 TC with the Cherry Burst. Its not completely original but in pretty good shape and I was blown away how low the action was set. I am a big fan of P90's and kind of have a bucket list of guitars that I want, (Don't tell my wife though). The arch tops are new to me but I am ready to take the dive.
