Vintage 1966 Gibson B-45-12 Natural Twelve String Acoustic Guitar USA :
$961.00
This sale is for one beautiful vintage Gibson 12 string guitar!
This guitar was running last week, but we had not entered a clear shot of the headstock, and many were asking, so we stopped it and shot some new photos.
This is a B-45 model guitar, built circa 1966, and has remained in very nice shape.
As far as can be told, it is all original, and comes with the case shown. I purchased it from the person who bought it from the original owner.
It was just given a new restring by a local luthier, and it plays and sounds fantastic!
Leo Kottke, arguably the most respected 12 string player in recent history, is well known for having played this model guitar, and he gives them the highest praises.
The B-45-12, a 12-string edition guitar introduced in 1961, was the first B-45 model guitar available and the first B series overall.
Mahogany body and neck
Spruce top
Rosewood fingerboard
Many of the early models were made with a cherry sunburst finish, but starting in 1963, the B-45-12-N was also available as a natural finish edition.
This is one of the natural finish guitars.
The guitar plays really well, and rings with a balance of tone that I have heard with no other 12 string.
The action is nice, and the neck is straight.
The guitar does show some signs of aging, some hairline checks in the clearcoat can be seen at the right angle in the right light, and a small nick in the back of the neck, but it is structurally very solid, and plays great.
The case shown is included.
This is as good as a twelve string gets!
The quality of early Gibson, the best twelve string tone I have heard, and the vibe of a vintage American made classic!
To make it sweeter, this is a real sale, with a low start and .
