Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good - Shows Signs of Wear Consistent with Age
When this ES-225 walked into the shop we couldn't believe how well it had stood the test of time, and now that our Luthier has had time to refret it, it plays better than some guitars coming fresh off the rack today! The fully hollow thinline body sounds warm and bright, with more volume than you'd ever expect from something 1 7/8" deep. Plus that classic Gibson P90 sound is absolutely irresistable. Call in now to talk to one of our specialists and take this piece of history home!
