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

[adam]

I haven't attempted a build since we started in '12, but am very tempted by this one. Spare time is the only hurdle (well, that and my cr@ppy skills).

I do have a couple of pretty handy Luthiers around if I need to call for help.

Yep, I'm going in!

good stuff Ads, would be cool if you ran a build diary, would have to be your first build diary ever !

for once DB gets let off the hook he doesn't have to build the kit for you !

[adam]

Yes, definitely Woks, I'll get it started tomorrow.

I might have to sacrifice a couple of naps per week so i can get 'er done.

some inspiration for you Adam, not a lot of pics on the interwebs , most seem to be with a cutaway or are semi-hollows (not sure of that code 330?)



I'm going with something more like this...I think, or a Dark green burst similar in tones to the Jr-1 as they with both have similar fittings and pickup

Good stuff Adam, looks like an archtop fest is about to begin!

This guitar reminds me so much of the Epiphone Century made first in 1939. if I hadn't bought the electro acoustic GR-1SF I'd love this. This guitar has been made re-popular by the success of James Bay's Chaos And Calm. If you've not heard it check out the sound on this track https://youtu.be/GsPq9mzFNGY. They made two different headstocks supposedly the one with the smaller headstock sings like a bird. Maybe I'll get one later with a nice P90 on. Nice kit love it. Great job Adam look forward to seeing your build.

It's an ES-125 style kit, Dedman.

If I can end up with something like this I'll be very happy:

Look forward to your build Ads. You know the deal sing out if you need any help or advice. Take your time and you can end up with an axe like the photo

I saw Adam today and he informed me he was going to build one of these.....
Lucky he has a tame Luthier close by

Haha, DB don't forget you will need a hard hat, a fire extinguisher, crow bar, jaws of life, steel and flint, and a pre booked session with your psychiatrist (same one you use for ES wiring), who knows how Adam will handle this since it isn't Tele shaped....
