This 16\" fully hollowbody laminated maple guitar has a beautiful sunburst finish and single binding. The finish is still in excellent condition and has just the right amount of aging you would expect from an original '59.<\/p>\n
The neck of this model has a pronounced C-shape and feels quite chunky, which is typical for guitars from that year. The bound rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays and the mother-of-pearl headstock logo complete the picture. We also recently had the Gibson professionally refretted.<\/p>\n
The double P-90 pickups sound phenomenal: clear and lively. A great guitar for blues, honky tonk, rockabilly, and early rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, but can also effortlessly create a warm, jazzy atmosphere. The guitar is professionally set up with 11\u201349 strings and plays like butter.<\/p>\n
When we received the Gibson, it had a Bigsby mounted on it. The original tailpiece was still present, but its pivot point was broken and this part had been replaced at the time with a good reproduction. We have since had the original tailpiece refitted. The pickguard is not original, but otherwise the guitar is completely original.<\/p>\n
Comes with an early 1960s Lifton case with yellow lining.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
This is a Gibson ES-225TD from 1959. In 1959, only 728 units left the Gibson factory. At the time, the ES-225 came with one or two P-90 pickups and was usually equipped with the infamous long trapeze tailpiece, the same type Gibson used on the early Les Pauls and ES-295s.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":9327,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[25,108,31,48],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-9310","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-elektrisch","product_cat-gibson","product_cat-hollow-body","product_cat-sold","product_shipping_class-gitaren-versterkers","desktop-align-left","tablet-align-left","mobile-align-left","first","outofstock","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"\n
