Awesome guys, Thanks!! 1949 sounds right, as my uncle received it as a gift new when he was around 12. I was confused about the 22xx in the 43-44 years. Thanks for the info. Where abouts should I go to get it appraised for insurance purposes? I also need to find a reputable Gibson luthier and have her looked it. Thanks again!

I have an old family Gibson I am trying to get dated. Any help is appreciated. TY. It is an ES-125 and the FOD is 2286 27
