1964 Gibson B-25-12 00-Size 12-String Guitar

Overview: These B-25-12 models tend to be popular with country-blues and folksy players. They've got the charm of the little B-25/LG-series models but, of course, a big old 12-string neck, ginormous headstock, and a woody, midsy, drier tone. They record well and have, basically, the polar opposite of the shimmer, high-end, chimey Guild sound. These are quirky-sounding 12s that deliver something that none of the other brands, save maybe some of the Harmony Sovereign models, do.

Repairs included: I gave this one a neck reset and then Jose gave it a level/dress of the frets, fully-compensated the saddle as much as he could, and set it all up. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.

Condition notes: This guitar is in fantastic shape. It's quite clean save for weather-checking to the finish, a replacement truss cover and screws, and a pickup (K&K as I recall) that's been installed. I found no cracks and the finish has a nice, clean glow to it. It's a beaut!

It comes with: As I recall, this has a gigbag.
