Factory Gold hardware on an ES-125tc

[access]

Have any of you guys seen this before? I just ran across a mid 60's model done this way!

I know it's only a 125tc but what a cool little difference!

I haven't seen that, but I am curious. What type of bridge is on that guitar?

Wooden bridge and saddle. 1963 and everything is original.

I've seen it once on a 125 (with a bound headstock) and at least once on a 225TDN with factory Bigsby.

I would love for Gibson to make an ES-295t! Which is basically a gold version of what you just described.

Hmm....I need to find an 'excuses' 225td and make this project a reality! Although the split parallelogram inlays would be tough to do after the fact!
