1966 Gibson ES-120T w/Vintage Guild Case
***An Incredible ES-120T in Beautiful Condition!!!***
***Reasonable Reserve Lower Than Most on Ebay!!!***
This is from my personal collection of vintage guitars. Before I describe my guitar let me tell you it is not from an Estate Sale, nor is it being offered to you by an antique dealer as a thrift store find. Too many instruments seem to be up for auction these days from people who have no clue how it really sounds or plays thrown up for bids wearing 20 year old strings, with the insistence itâ??s beautiful to look at and â??must be high qualityâ?.
Hopefully I will answer all your questions whether youâ??re a beginner or a pro. If youâ??re a beginner print this auction and take it to someone you trust for verification.
Now about the instrumentâ?¦.
This was one of the most beautiful vintage Gibsonâ??s I had ever seen when I purchased it. I bought it on first sight, with a 1960â??s Guild hardshell case. Please scan ahead and examine the 25 photos right up front, and you will see for 43 years old this may be one of the nicer condition ES-120T models youâ??ll see for a while.
Letâ??s review the specification:
- Year: 1966
- Gibson Diamond trapeze tailpiece.
- Spruce Arched Top
- Standard Sunburst Finish
- Brazilian Rosewood Floating Bridge.
- One Melody Maker Pickup in the Neck Position
- Single Bound Maple Body
- 16 ¼â? Wide Thinline body, full-acoustic
- Single F-Hole
- Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard with Dot Inlays
- Action is 2.9mm at the 12th fret
- 24 ¾â? Scale Length
- Serial Number 410298
Now letâ??s talk condition.
Condition is superb I think for a 42 year old instrument. There is very light weather checking with a couple of bigger finish cracks, but the finish is as glossy as it gets. If you examine the pictures you will see exactly what it looks like The fret board is extremely nice with no wear as shown. The board is clean and has been kept oiled with no splits in the wood either. The neck joint is like the day it was built, with low beautiful action. The frets have been leveled, and polished. I think youâ??ll be stunned by the playability and finish.
Unlike some Gibson built guitars of this era there are no issues with any of the bindings. They are in very good condition, with nothing loose. On the back there are just a very few scratches, but none have come close to breaking the finish and appear as shown. The finish and guitar is a 9.5 out of 10. I hate to talk up a guitar too much, but it is simply the best ES-120t Iâ??ve ever seen, and I think the next owner will be thrilled with it. The tuners function fine, and are original Kluson Deluxe tuners. One of the knobs is bent a little on the G string. The tailpiece is excellent and original as … Click For More Info
