THIS IS A GIBSON ES-295 FROM THE 1950S, THE SERIAL NUMBER IS "A 219XX", I THINK THAT IT IS FROM 1956 BUT NOT ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN. IT IS IN IT'S ORIGINAL CONDITION AND IS AS I ACQUIRED IT A FEW YEARS BACK. IT HAS FINISH CRACKING AND SOME CHIPPING OF THE GOLD FINISH AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURES. THIS IS NOT ALL THAT UNUSUAL FOR THESE GUITARS, I HAVE SEEN SOME THAT WERE MUCH WORSE. ALL THE GOLD PLATED TUNERS WORK AS THEY SHOULD AND THE PICKUPS AND CONTROLS WORK AS THEY SHOULD. IT MAY NEED TO HAVE THE CONTROLS SPRAYED AND NEW STRINGS. IT PLAYS GOOD AS IT IS AND THE ACTION IS LOW. THE OLD LIFTON CASE HAS A FEW SCRAPES AND SCRATCHES BUT IS SOLID AND ALL THE LATCHES AND HINGES WORK AS THEY SHOULD, I DO NOT HAVE THE KEY. THE ES-295 IS A PART OF ROCK AND ROLL HISTORY AND ANYONE WITH AN ELVIS BAND NEEDS ONE OF THESE. I KNOW NOTHING OF IT'S HISTORY EXCEPT THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM A LADY THAT DOES ESTATE SALES ON THE NORTH SHORE OF CHICAGO.
