    New ES-125 Style Archtop Hollow body with single P-90

    I'm not sure if anyone suggested this, but I saw an ES-125 in my copy of 1001 Guitars To Play Before You Die and thought we MUST have one.

    I think the factory did a great job with this one.

    Hopefully someone will jump on this new kit and we can see one finished.

    Check it out here
    Cheers,
