I had the privilege to attend close friends surprise 60th birthday party last night, one of the finest people and musician I know. All he knew was he had a gig for a private event, little did he know, it was HIS private event. Through it all he was gifted a 1957 Gibson ES-125D, about 30 were made in its single model year. Among other accomplishments Gibson Guitars named him in the top 10 Alt-Country guitar players of all time. How did we know it the “right one” He’s cherished and ogled over a similar model another friend owns for years, but is in unplayable condition currently. This one is close to museum quality
His appearance on Rockplast a while ago playing his 70’s Les Paul

That D model is unusual. The difference is the two P90 pickups instead of one. I bet it sounds good.

Sounded awesome. Played it like he’d been playing it for decades as soon as he picked it up. Looking forward to hearing it after he puts a new set of his preferred strings on it. Who knows how old those are
