guitarnutt Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 Where can I go to learn more about the es-125 like George Thorogood played? Any info will be appreciated...thanks Quote
ksdaddy Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 Lots of info out there. George’s guitar was one of the many variations of the ES-125, which has been around since the mid to late 40s. They were all based on a 16” body. George’s original one is an ES-125 TDC (thin body, double pickup, cutaway). This model came out in 1960 I believe, and ran until 1970. I assume his was stripped and refinished, as to my knowledge they never made that variant in blonde. It’s possible his was cherry sunburst and faded, but that’s a long shot. If it was cherry sunburst, that would suggest mid 60s. Any ones I’ve seen from the first few years were definitely dark tobacco sunburst. Quote
