Gibson ES-225 Thinline Fully Hollow Electric Archtop


Much like a slightly fancier 1960's ES-125TC with a different tailpiece, the ES-225 Thinbody had a single pointed cutaway, fully hollow body, and it was equipped with 1 or 2 P-90 pickups with black covers. Other features included a trapeze bridge/tailpiece combo with strings looping over bridge, laminated beveled-edge pickguard, single bound top, back and rosewood fingerboard, pearl dot fingerboard inlays, pearl logo, sunburst or natural finish. The one pickup model is not very desirable because of the placement of the single pickup; it's neither in the neck or bridge position, but in between the two positions.  

The ES-225 was available between 1955 to 1959.


Personally, I think it's an amazing guitar with a great look.
