Models to look out for: Just about anything prooduced before 1970, including (but by no means limited to.) Explorer, Les Paul, SG, ES-335, Flying V, Firebird, Melody Maker. Later Nashville-produced instruments are the least desireable vintage Gibsons, but as long as the Gibson name is present, it will still be a quality guitar. This is not to say all of their guitars are equal however, and the price difference between two vintage Les Paul guitars could be tens, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Gibson's golden period was between the late 1950s and mid 1960s, these are outstanding instruments, but generally any guitar built at the legendary Kalamazoo plant, especially during the CMI-period (pre-1970) will be very well-made indeed. The ES-125 was updated again in 1950 with an adjustable P-90 pickup and dot inlays. Upon its reintroduction in 1946, the ES-125 changed in a number of ways including a wider body, a new P-90 pickup, and trapezoid inlays. Vintage Guitar magazine placed nine Gibson guitars in their 'top 25 most valuable guitar' list. The ES-125 evolved out of the ES-100 in 1941 and was produced until 1943.
From their simplest entry-level solid bodies to the inordinately expensive custom-built jazz guitars, all of Gibson's output has been created in America, yet loved world-wide. I’m here to tell a story of music in my life. Gibson guitars have always been desireable a true testament to the skill of the guitar builders at perhaps the worlds best-regarded guitar company.
