1968 Gibson B-25 - Cherry Sunburst - X-Braced Spruce Top - LG-2 Successor - Frank Ocean Studio Sessions
Condition: Very Good
Includes: Guitar, original brown hardshell case with orange interior
Serial: 959855
Overview
Late-1960s Gibson B-25 in cherry sunburst, the small-body flat-top that replaced the venerable LG-2 in 1962. Same body dimensions and construction as the LG-2 it succeeded, with X-braced solid spruce top, mahogany back, sides, and neck, ivoroid binding, and a 24 3/4" scale. Serial 959855 places this in the 1968 production range, supported by the absence of "Made in USA" on the headstock (Gibson began stamping that in 1970). From the ANALOGr studio rental collection, used during Frank Ocean recording sessions.
