Up for sale, a 1967 Gibson B-25, complete with a vintage chipboard case. The successor of the LG-3 (and by association the same-sized but lesser-priced LG-2), the B-25 features a slope shoulder body design with a 14 7/16“ lower bout width and X-braced construction. Short of purchasing a J-45 and heading into upscale dreadnought territory, the B-25 was one of Gibson’s highest grade acoustics in ‘67, with a spruce top, Honduran mahogany back/sides, one-piece mahogany neck, and rosewood fingerboard.
Offering plenty of projection, this B-25 has a mellow, woody character when strummed lightly, offering more sparkle and cut when digging in with a flatpick. Trebles are sweet and punchy, the midrange is complex, and the bass response has excellent breadth and presence without being boomy. Weighing 4lbs 3oz, this B-25 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.

The gloss Cherry Sunburst nitro lacquer finish is 100% original with no touch-up or overspray, exhibiting prominent lacquer checking. There are two repaired cracks on the treble-side of the back which have been professionally cleated and reinforced as needed. Additional signs of use include two light indentations on the top lower bout and treble-side perimeter as well as various smaller chips and dings. The smooth nitro gloss on the neck profile exhibits similar checking, with a handful of shallow marks that are not distracting to the palm.
A vintage chipboard case is included.
