Crp « My best guitar »
Published on 03/23/11 at 11:22USA 1957. Floating bridge Brazilian rosewood as the key (yes ...)
Honduras mahogany neck, 20 frets, table and archtop maple back, mahogany sides.
A great big old P-90 alone and two flight-tone knobs.
Brief skillet sober but very good quality (Gibson is a fairly known brand, I think).
UTILIZATION
The handle is slightly thicker, you get used to fast but not so comfortable that L4 or 175.
Access to acute is comparable to that of a folk guitar and barely worse than a CES type 175 (where it is not great anyway). Not at all annoying to me.
SOUNDS
This is the only guitar that allows me to sound the Tal Farlow / Barney Kessel / Wes Montgomery.
With a tube amp is the big foot (provided they do not stick to the amp because the P-90 snores a little, like many old men).
OVERALL OPINION
The 125 is rated low because it was an entry-level model. No American pure juice of the Deep South would want that. So you can offer true vintage jazz sound, better than L4 for example, for a price cut in half at least.
Compare with a les paul junior same years: it is a vulgar board with the same P-90, it starts at 5000 euros. Ah but you see, there's Leslie West, who played on it, blah ...
Comment: Ah! Ah! Ah! Good for me and for you if you tracking down a 125! Attention all do not sound like, try before you drink.
