Wud Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Hello , New here . I have recently picked up a Gibson ES125 1956 Model . I am looking for a few parts as I restore this . Any information would be much appreciated
retrorod Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Nice find, Wud! Should clean up nicely. I have a '53 that I am very attached to. What else are you looking for other than a knob(or two)? Rod

retrorod Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Ah Yeah....the guard! Repro replacements are available.....or period correct can be had at a cost. Do some googling on the net and you will find what you need. Just did a search on Ebay..... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Gibson-ES-125-pickguard-ES-125t-ES-125-1959-1960-1962-1962-1964-2-/321343019497?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ad18959e9 Best of luck!
L5Larry Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Ah Yeah....the guard! Due to the eventual off-gassing deterioration of ALL vintage celluloid pickguards, I DO NOT recommend ever using a "vintage" pickguard for ANY restoration project. Get yourself a NEW reproduction (or replacement) so as to reset the disintegration clock back to zero.

Always on the look out for vintage if i can get them . Hard to come by though
