As I look, I find no numbers of any kind, inside or out. Hello, I just acquired a 1946 es125 with a mahogany top,tortoise pick guard and trapazoid inlays.
#Gibson es 125 tdc serial
I can't find a 1965 catalogue to see if my guitar was was also offered in 65 as the serial # would suggest. (or maybe 125 is all that is supposed to appear?).Ĭharacteristics of the guitar match perfectly the description given (verbal- no photo)in the 1966 Gibson guitar catalogue below the ad for the ES-125CD (apparently the ES-125C was offered as an optional/more modest version of the ES-125CD which had dual pick-ups and 4 controls). i don't know whether it wasn't stamped well originally or maybe has just faded with time. and there is no evidence of an E before the S or a C after the 125. i can ALMOST see a hint of what might be an S preceding the 125, but it is so slight that i'm not sure that it isn't just my imagination. There is a black ink stamp on the inside face of the back of the guitar that is visible through the f-hole. however, everything else i read says this guitar was introduced in 1966 (maybe this indicates that it was made in 65, but brought to market in 66?). according to the sources i have referenced, this would suggest the guitar was produced in 1965 in Kalamazoo.
serial # stamped on the rear of the headstock is 362665. I'm trying to peg the date it was produced.
