Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.47% — somewhat different

The Gibson ES-125 is a semi-hollow body electric guitar delivering warm, articulate tone with natural feedback control. Its single-cutaway design and P90 pickups provide jazz and rhythm tone. The ES-125 appeals to jazz and blues players.
The Gibson ES-5 was introduced in 1949 as a full-depth archtop carrying three P-90s — unusual then and rare since — with individual volume controls for each and no selector switch on the earliest version. The 17-inch body gives a broad, airy acoustic component, and the three-pickup layout allows blends no two-pickup archtop can reach.
