walrus11 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I joined this forum in 2014 when I had a ES-135, but never really posted. Just got a birth year 1958 ES-225T - it's in better shape than I am! It needs some new tuners, and a few minor adjustments. I'm getting used to the position of the single middle pickup, but love the sounds and tone I am getting. Has the original Les Paul bridge which is really cool! Hopefully, I'll be posting more in the Vintage Corner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedzep Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 You know the rules, buddy. Figure out how to post pics and lay 'em on us. If I didn't find the M65 I would still be looking for a 225T. Enjoy. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerwagonjohn Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Sounds like you found yourself a very nice guitar and are enjoying it. I have a 1956 ES225T, one year older than me, and I enjoy it very much so I know from where you speak. They are unique guitars and I think the tailpiece is part of the reason. Have fun.

walrus11 Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Thanks, gentlemen! The guitar was at a luthier for new tuners and a new nut. Original tuners were not working, and the nylon nut was pushing the high E string to the edge of the fretboard. Everything else original! Here are some pics: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimR56 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I remember seeing this thread before the photos were posted, and then I somehow missed the update with the photos. Beautiful 225! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
