# Vintage 1965 Gibson B-25-12 12-String Acoustic Guitar w/ Hard Case

Up for sale is a vintage Gibson B-25-12 12-string acoustic guitar from the mid-1960s. This guitar features a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, adjustable bridge, and the unmistakable rich, jangly tone that made Gibson 12-strings a staple of the folk-rock era.

The guitar remains remarkably original, retaining its original tuners, bridge assembly, pickguard, and overall vintage character. It shows honest cosmetic wear consistent with decades of use, including finish scratches, dings, edge wear, and finish checking. Please review all photos carefully for a complete representation of condition.

Structurally, the guitar appears solid with no obvious major crack repairs visible. The neck heel is stable, the bridge appears secure, and the instrument presents well overall for its age.

The spruce top has aged beautifully over the years and displays excellent vintage character. The mahogany back and sides remain attractive, with a warm reddish finish that has developed a wonderful patina.

A fresh set of strings has been installed and the guitar is currently tuned to pitch (and holds it).

Includes a modern hard shell case in excellent condition. The case is not original to the guitar but provides excellent protection and fits the instrument well.
