Gibson B-25-12 CS
Description
A compact body B-25 12-string model with a beautiful cherry sunburst finish.
This model has been produced since 1962 and seems to have been sold until the late 1970s.
Because it has a compact body, adjustable saddle, and tailpiece type, it features a unique, crunchy tone that is different from other 12 strings.
This instrument is a 1967 model with a bright cherry sunburst finish.
The top is spruce, the sides and back are mahogany, Jacaranda fingerboard, and ebony adjustable bridge.
The pegs are original to Krewson, and although there are some places where the torque is stiff, there is no problem with tuning.
Original pickguard, no cracks on the side of the pickguard.
The nut, frets, and saddle have all been adjusted as original, and there is almost no wear and tear.
The bright cherry sunburst has little fading and is very beautiful. There is a small weather check, but there are almost no noticeable scratches. There is a crack repair that is hardly noticeable on the right side when facing the back.
It is in very good condition for a Gibson of this age.
It is a fairly wide and thick neck with a nut width of about 51 mm.
It is set straight, the adjustment rod works well, and there is plenty of room.
I think it's quite easy to play with the 6th string 2.0mm on the 12th fret and 1.2mm on the 1st string.
I think it has a good balance up to the high positions and can be played stress-free.
Since it is an adjustable bridge, you can expect even more sound by setting it a little higher.
It has a crunchy tone and doesn't have a very rich box sound. It's a percussive Gibson sound with a little less sustain, which is unique to this era.
Even though it's a 12-string, it has a cool and unique atmosphere with a muddy taste, but it doesn't have the gorgeous and rich spaciousness of other companies' 12-strings.
It's an instrument that you can enjoy with its unique atmosphere.
Comes with a general-purpose paper soft shell case from the time.
