Description

What makes this guitar special:  A great playing thinline with an absolutely gorgeous tone & ultra cool, true vintage vibe.  This wonderful ES-225T delivers a warm, rich sound with a natural acoustic resonance, providing hours of enjoyment.  Professionally set up by our own luthier with fresh strings & low action, so it plays & sounds fantastic!

Cosmetic Condition:  Lots of good honest play wear - various nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches, weather checking & some finish wear.  The pickguard is missing & the tuner buttons are replacements, but the tuners themselves are original.  Overall the guitar has a wonderful look to it with a gorgeous patina.

Neck:  Chunky, one-piece mahogany neck with nicely aged cream binding & tortoise side-dots.  Beautiful, dark Brazilian rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays.  Original Kluson Deluxe tuners with replaced buttons in perfect working condition.  1 11/16" nut; 24 3/4" scale length.  Neck is straight & truss rod is in good working condition.

Body:  Double-bound, hollow maple body with Florentine cutaway & dual F-holes.  The top is finished in two-tone sunburst & the back shows of some nice flame figuring.  Long trapeze nickel tailpiece with wrap-around bar bridge.  Pickguard is missing.  Guitar weighs 5 lbs 7 oz.

Electronics:  Single P-90 with black "dog ear" cover - 9.33K ohms.  Master volume & tone controls with gold "top hat" knobs.  All electronics are in good working condition.

Case:  Original faux alligator chipboard case included.  The case is in very rough shape, with a missing handle & stitching coming undone.
