Drittbobbins Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Hey guys, my grandfather recently passed away and while I was cleaning out his old farm I found this. Apparently it was my uncles. Could someone tell me what model les Paul this is/ is it even real? I know it’s in pretty rough condition as well. Just a curious grandson.

ksdaddy Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 It’s not a Les Paul. The Les Paul Model is a solid body electric. It is a 1956 ES-225. It is considered a hollow body electric. They used leftover trapeze tailpieces on this model from the very early (1952-ish) Les Pauls. Yours appears to be in amazing condition other than the rotted tuner buttons, which are easily replaced nowadays. The pickguard is not present in the pics, might it be around somewhere?
