This Gibson ES-120 T is the cheapest ever Gibson archtop model. Produced between 1962 and 1971, it could achieve its budget price by having all its electronics mounted on its scratch plate - single-coil pickup, pots and jack output - this allowing only one F-hole.
Once a total cheapo, as a vintage Gibson guitar, it can nowadays be considered as a collector, but who cares?
