Made in USA 1957. This guitar produced for young students (musicians or small) is a "3/4". This is comparable to a 125 TC guitar, but in a smaller size and short scale.
You will find all the details on Wiki and other sites.

UTILIZATION

Guitar 3/4 (like a Les Paul, but hollow body): Diapason short, narrower than its bigger brothers, 39 mm nut sleeve.
Hyper light (2 kg) and P90 making machine ideal stage for the blues.
A "toy" that I bought for my little son, but until it is old enough to use it, I use it with great pleasure.
A beautiful sound: acoustic, it sounds like a parlor. Electrified, it sounds like hell! And easy to play, especially sprawled in an armchair!

SOUNDS

Super blues, I also used to jazz.
It's great fun, it sounds great and it is lightweight. It compensates for small disadvantages width of the handle. This guitar is not dedicated to "lumber", but as I am not very great, it suits me perfectly.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it in England (E Bay without being able to try it first). I am based on a video found on Youtube a ES-125T 3/4, very comparable. And I was not disappointed.
This is a rare and very special piece, but I love it. And I hope that my little son will be filled to learning this instrument.
