Firstly, the P90 pickup was replaced with a 1939 Gibson Charlie Christian-style unit, "it has a very high quality of cobalt and copper which is unavailable in the world today". Beautiful vintage patina, exquisite sunburst. The model used for the ES-125 has a string spacing on the neck pickup of 1 15 ⁄ 16 " from high E to low E.

The ES-300 was the top of the line for electrics immediately post war whereas the ES-150 (post war, not CC unit) was a more economical model (no binding on the neck until 1950 then binding until 1956)).
