I really like the guitar jonny is using in the christmas lights music video does anyone know what it is? it looks like an gibson/epiphone can anyone tell me what it is!!!

I'm curious myself. It's a nice guitar.

Me too! and i want to try it out so bad! my parents agreed to buy me a new guitar for my birthday and i really like the dot but that one looks fantastic!

Since no one seems to know. Oracle here i come!

Is it this one?

 

Gibson ES 120

 

Please be a left-handed version -_-

It's actually an ES-125

It's similar to the 120 except it has a "dog ear" P90 single coil pickup (the same kind as an Epiphone Casino, an ES 330 or a really early Les Paul)

 

They haven't been made since the 60's but vintage ones generally cost less than most new Gibsons, and aren't especially hard to find.

 

Guy also used this model (possibly the same guitar) on Don Quixote on the last South American Tour.

Grrr is there an epiphone model?

other than it being expensive i love it :D

Grrr is there an epiphone model?

 

 

No. It has never been reissued by Gibson or Epiphone. Gibson's Custom Shop might be able to make you one, but that would be very expensive (probably in the $5000 range, considerably more than even a vintage one.) Unfortunately, you're not going to find one for less than around $1000-1500 Epiphone did reissue the ES 295 some years ago, which is probably the closest model you'll get in a new guitar, but I don't think they even produce that model anymore.

 

If you're looking for something tonally similar, an Epiphone Casino will get you fairly close.

I've been looking around online and it does seems like it's possible to get an es 120 for $600-800 which isn't a whole lot more than most epiphones are going to run you these days, especially if you're looking at archtops.
