Description Brand: Gibson Soundboard Style: Flat Top Body Type: Dreadnought Model: B-45-12 String Configuration: 12 String Exact Year: 1967 Dexterity: Right-Handed Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
This B-25-12 was in pretty rough shape when we got it. The neck had sagged and the original plastic nut had been shaved as far as it could. The neck has been professionally re-set and a new bone nut and saddle installed. The action and intonation are excellent. The tuners are original but the trapeze tailpiece is not (note the holes in pic # 9). The frets are original and in good condition and the truss rod is functional. The finish shows the usual amount of checking for these instruments and there are quite a few bumps and scratches. The instrument has definitely been played so it's no museum piece. All the seams and bindings are tight and there are no loose braces. This guitar sounds great and it's a lot of fun to play. The bone nut and saddle give it good projection and a nicely balanced tone. The hard shell case is not original but is sturdy with all hinges and latches in good working condition. The price includes free domestic shipping and a 20% discount on international shipping. Feel free to contact us for an estimate on international shipping. Thanks for looking.
