CAMELEYE Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Considering one. Your thoughts, anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 A good starter guitar. Don't believe they are currently making them so assume you are considering a used one? If that is the case then the condition of it is everything - hopefully you can play it and see what it sounds like and if it stays in tune before you purchase. My first electric was a 125 purchased used in 1965. It has a 60s slim taper neck, rosewood fingerboard, ebony floating bridge and a single P-90 pickup in the neck position. Not a huge variety of tones available, but was a good first electric to start learning on. Do you have a link to any photos of it? What price are they asking?

CAMELEYE Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 I think it's a '54, all original. Pix I've seen show it's pretty clean. Solid older hardshell. Price is around 2K. Sorry, don't know how to post pix. Would like to use it for jazz comping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Sounds like a pretty good find, but playing it would be a must before a purchase. A lot of things can get out of whack with a 65 year old guitar, if it is truly that old. Good luck, hope it works out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAMELEYE Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 I've decided to pass. Really just an acoustic guy at heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
