I have a '59 ES 125T, got I for about$1400 a year ago. I really like the unamplified sound, fun to play in the living room, it would never cut through playing out. Plugged in I'm struggling, but blaming my Blues Jr which I never liked. A bit boomy up top, plinky down low. I can coax a decent jazz sound out of it, but its a balancing act. I want to go try it through a Princeton, or even an acoustic amp. I can get a deep dark reverb sound thats cool, but not the range of sound Id hoped for. Check Youtube though, theres a bunch of guys there that make these things sound great.
