Beautiful and excellent playing and sounding Reissue 1959 Gibson es225 w case and COA. Made in Memphis, USA.I had a professional take off the bale tailpiece (NO NEW HOLES DRILLED) in order to replace the bale tailpiece w/ a trapeze tailpiece and fully adjustable floating bridge. NOW the guitar intonates PERFECTLY and plays great all up and down the neck with nice low action and IN TUNE all up the neck! No issues at all! This guitar listed for $3299 (plus tax for me!!!) w/a bale tailpiece design that is inadequate for the serious player...but now the work has been done and this guitar plays as good as a LP all the way up the neck. This is a wonderful sounding guitar. The original bale tailpiece is included in the case, as is the original pick-guard.  I am the original owner of this guitar. This awesome reissue is no longer crafted, so you may desire to get a really good example now while you can, such as this one is!Please note: the next-to-last pic shows the guitar w/ the original bale tailpiece installed, as it was from the factory. The guitar now is set up as in the first several pictures w/ the trapeze tailpiece and floating adjustable bridge installed on the guitar. Holy cow...$2600...I cant go any lower than that ...$2600 and it's yours!  Guitar ships in ORIGINAL Gibson factory carton. I enter carton size and shipping weight as smaller and less than actual size/weight in order to help w/ the shipping cost. I always insure for more than the value to protect us both! Thanks for looking!
