Gibson B45-12-N 12 String Flat Top Acoustic Guitar (1965), ser. #278074, black soft shell case.

Gibson B45-12-N Model 12 String Flat Top Acoustic Guitar (1965), made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, serial # 278074, natural lacquer finish, Mahogany body and neck, spruce top, rosewood fingerboard, black soft shell case. Overall length is 42 5/16 in. (107.5 cm.), 16 in. (40.6 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 4 7/8 in. (12.4 cm.) in depth at side, taken at the end block. Scale length is 24 3/4 in. (629 mm.). Width of nut is 2 in. (51 mm.). Very clean overall, all original finish and hardware (down to the bridgepins!) some checking and small dings and chips but very little play wear. The neck has been reset; the angle is excellent, no added finish so there are a few chips around the heel, and the heelblock has an old repaired crack from the process. An excellent playing and sounding example, low action and a very smooth tone. One of the nicer B-45's we have seen -the pin bridge version of any Gibson 12 string is definitely the superior sounding guitar! Overall Excellent Condition.
