clidebarrow Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Hi all, This is a picture I took using my phone that I inserted through the pick-up hole. This is a 1958 ES 125. Looking at the ground connection to the tail piece, I have the feeling that it is not original (seems to be simply wrapped around the pickup ground cable...) What do you think? Any other comments?

I think it is original. It looked similar in my es120t when i got that one, i can´t be sure since i got it a few years ago, so it had lived about 40 years, in someone else poses, before i purchased it :-) Anyway, the ground wire only rested on, not soldered to, the pickup cable. Now i have soldered it to the pickup cable and shielded the pickguard, and it is a great Guitar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks also like someone lived in there for a while (that ball of something stuck near the bracing...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have been a blob of solder on mine too, can´t rememeber, but it had came loose in that case. Yeah, i saw that nest, that´s Mojo :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
