The Gibson ES-125T is a vintage gem that embodies the golden era of electric archtop guitars. Introduced in 1956 as a thinline version of the original ES-125, it was designed to offer players a more comfortable, feedback-resistant instrument without sacrificing the rich, warm tones that Gibson archtops are known for. The ES-125T quickly gained popularity among jazz, blues, and early rock 'n' roll musicians for its versatility and affordability.​
Its fully hollow body and single P-90 pickup deliver a clear, articulate sound that's perfect for a variety of musical styles. The ES-125T's simplicity and elegance have made it a favourite among collectors and players alike, with notable users including Thom Yorke of Radiohead, who has been seen wielding this model on stage
