{"product_id":"1968-gibson-b-25-vintage-acoustic-guitar-w-case-lg-3","title":"1968 Gibson B-25 Vintage Acoustic Guitar w\/ Case, LG-3","description":"Up for sale, a 1968 Gibson B-25 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, 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 ‘68, with a spruce top, Honduran mahogany back\/sides, one-piece mahogany neck, and rosewood fingerboard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA modestly-sized cannon with excellent projection, this B-25 has a mellow, woody character when strummed lightly, offering more sparkle and cut when you dig 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 or washed out. This B-25 has been professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Wood: Honduran Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e-Shape: Medium C, measuring .825” 1st fret, .960” 9th fret\u003cbr\u003e-Fretboard: Brazilian rosewood, dot inlays, light finger wear behind frets 1-2\u003cbr\u003e-Frets: Medium jumbo, leveled\/crowned, no wear\u003cbr\u003e-Scale Length: 24 3\/4”\u003cbr\u003e-Nut: 1 9\/16”\u003cbr\u003e-Tuners: Kluson Deluxe double-line strip, white buttons\u003cbr\u003e-Serialization: Six-digit stamp dates to ‘68\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Wood: Spruce, Honduran Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e-Bracing: X (lightweight\/early ‘60s-style)\u003cbr\u003e-Bridge: Rosewood belly-up, adjustable saddle\u003cbr\u003e-Pickguard: Tortoise, “Soundwave” logo\u003cbr\u003e-Marquetry: Multi-ply binding, simple rosette\u003cbr\u003e-Factory Markings: Model stamp visible through soundhole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe gloss Cherry Sunburst nitro lacquer finish is 100% original with no touch-up or overspray, exhibiting broad lacquer checking, some scuffing on the top edge at the bass-side lower bout, faint buckle worming on the back, and a few minor dings on the body as a whole.
