Radiation Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 The es125 I inherited has a shield-like emblem or badge on the truss rod cover. It is off center making me suspect that it is an aftermarket addition. I have a photo of the original owner playing the guitar shortly after it was purchased, prob 1957, and this feature is visible. I’d like more info about it if anyone can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I think you're right about the owner glueing it on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiation Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 I’d like to know if it’s some kind of Gibson sticker or promotional item that he stuck on there or if it’s Gibson related at all. I don’t really mind it being on there because it’s been there since the ‘50s, but i will try to at least straighten it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobouz Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Never have seen anything from Gibson like that. A previous owner or dealer’s add-on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I think that guys name was probably George. Not Gibson related at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
