I suspect the volume and tone knobs are also replaced. The ES-125 is known for this problem because no one currently makes P-90s with those low-profile covers anymore so a period-correct replacement is not possible without shopping on the vintage market. Those P-90s are much closer (if I am remembering rightly) to the neck pickup on the old LP Jr. In the '50s, the ES-125 had a slope-shouldered, more rounded and lower profile P-90. ![]() I think the pickup is a replacement unless things changed a lot in the late 1960s (and they well could have). Everything else that Sam noted is a right concern, especially that Epi truss rod cover, which I hope to God does not mean that someone drilled holes in the headstock for it. ![]() If there ARE mounting holes, some serious damage has been done to the instrument. I doubt there will be mounting holes for the bridge since the ES-125 in all its forms was a fully hollow-body guitar.
