    what's the condition?

    Sounds like a pretty solid deal to me if it's an original and in decent shape.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    The thin bodied ES-125C with the P-90 (s) is one of my favorite blues guitars. It's kind of a precursor to the "Casino" types that Epiphone put out 5 years later.

    The Les Paul Amp is probably a GA-5. but it might be a GA-40 or somewhere inbetween.

    Most 125's I've seen go for around 1250.

    I don't know about the amps other than the era pretty much dictates it will have a volume control and maybe a tone knob, likely an alnico speaker and a low wattage tube driven amplifier.
