The serial number doesn't indicate anything about the production total, if that's what you meant.Īt any rate, ES-125's were lower-end, mass produced guitars, not rare or highly desirable to most collectors. Other than the occasional collector who might want a '59 because they were born that year, nobody is going to pay more for a '59 than a '58 just because fewer were made in '59. ![]() In other words, if they had indeed only made 39 ES-125's in 1959 (instead of 1,674), while making 1,528 in 1958, and 739 in 1960, that wouldn't make the '59 examples more desirable or valuable. What's more important in terms of rarity and value is how many were produced in total (all years of production). Too many people (dealers and collectors alike) put too much importance on of the number of instruments produced during a given year. If you're not sure it's a '59, what is the serial number? Is there an "S" stamped in front of the factory order number? Not sure why you chose to post only data about the thin-line versions of the ES-125, since the question only referred to an "ES-125".Īnyway, there were 1,674 full depth ES-125's produced in 1959.
