This 1956 Gibson ES-225t showed up just in time to fill the void left by the '57 we sold last week in Costa Mesa at the guitar show.  

This one is even cleaner than the last one!  The tuners are reproductions, but there is no change to the headstock.  The nut and frets were professionally replaced, with the originals retained in the case.

Everything else is original, including the very valuable gold top hat knobs, which are correct on a Les Paul from the era.  

The guitar plays perfectly!

Included is a non original case.
