Overall, this vintage guitar is in excellent clean condition and is 100% complete. It has been well cared for over the years, with only minor finish wear on the back of the neck, along with a few dings, scratches, and other light cosmetic play wear. The original frets and nut are in great condition with plenty of life left.

Originality
This wonderful Blonde ES-225T is 100% original throughout – Just as it left the Kalamazoo factory back in 1957. The original Kluson Deluxe tuners with cream plastic buttons are still in place and function perfectly. The original P-90 pickup in the middle position feeds into a single volume and tone control, with the output jack located on the side. As you can imagine, this guitar sounds absolutely gorgeous.
The pickup and electronics/wiring remains untouched and fully intact, with no broken solder joints and no re-wound pickup. All original and correct.
Comes complete with its original and rare brown hardshell case. Latches and handle are in perfect working order.
