Representing a fascinating and relatively short-lived chapter in Gibson’s ES line, the 325 was produced from 1972-79. This first year example boasts a unique feature set, very much of its era and unlike any other ES guitar, with a pair of mini humbuckers, harmonica bridge, maple neck, semi-hollow maple body, one-ply black control plate and pickguard, and gloss Walnut finish framed on both sides by multi-ply black binding.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe semi-hollow construction delivers a bold acoustic response with tons of natural resonance, paired with the treble cut inherent to maple as a tonewood. The mini humbuckers are at once detailed, sweet, and smooth, with a focused snarl at the bridge and a broad, warm response at the neck, threading the needle between humbuckers and single coils with a true “best of both worlds” tone. This ES-325 weighs 7lbs 1oz, professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Maple (three-piece)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Shape: Slender-to-chunky C, measuring .785” 1st fret, .985” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fretboard: Rosewood, dot inlay\u003cbr\u003e\n-Frets: Medium jumbo, leveled\/crowned, light wear beneath the plain strings on frets 1-6\u003cbr\u003e\n-Scale Length: 24 3\/4”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Nut: 1 9\/16”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Tuners: Gibson Deluxe double-line strip\u003cbr\u003e\n-Serialization: Six-digit stamp dates to ’72\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Maple\u003cbr\u003e\n-Pickups: Mini humbucker x2\u003cbr\u003e\n-Controls: Volume x2, Tone x2, Three-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e\n-Harness: Untouched solder, CTS pots date to the 15th week of ‘72\u003cbr\u003e\n-Hardware: “Harmonica” bridge, parallelogram trapeze tailpiece, “Gibson”-engraved pickup covers (chrome-plated)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Plastics: One-ply control plate and pickguard (modern replica), witch hat knobs\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe gloss Walnut nitro lacquer finish is framed on top and back by multi-ply black binding, exhibiting vertical lacquer checking, with virtually no wear beyond very faint buckle rash central to the back.
