{"product_id":"05-2800005545197","title":"[SN 119495] USED Gibson \/ 1967 B-25N [05]","description":"A 1967 Gibson B-25 has just arrived!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThis model is one of the most popular among Gibson’s small-body acoustic guitars. Its compact size makes it easy to handle, and it features Gibson’s signature warm midrange and dry vintage tone, making it versatile enough for everything from fingerstyle to strumming.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThis particular instrument strongly retains the characteristics of the late 1960s. From its distinctive large pickguard to its appearance—which has gained depth through the passage of time—you can truly sense the unique character of a vintage guitar that has stood the test of time.Furthermore, compared to models like the J-45 from the same era, the B-25 was produced in limited numbers and is relatively scarce on the market; as a result, its market price has been on the rise in recent years both domestically and internationally. Vintage Gibsons in particularly good condition are becoming increasingly difficult to find, and the B-25 is no exception.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nRather than being a collector’s piece focused on preserving its original condition, this particular guitar possesses the charm of a “player’s vintage” that has been maintained with a focus on actual performance. It has undergone refretting and a nut replacement, ensuring comfortable playability while retaining the distinctive character of a vintage guitar that has been played for many years.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nFurthermore, the conversion from the original adjustable saddle to a fixed saddle is a notable feature. While 1960s Gibson adjustable saddles possess a unique character, converting to a fixed saddle often improves attack, response, and the efficiency of string vibration transmission—a modification widely recognized for its practical benefits. Among players, this upgrade is frequently embraced as a way to achieve a richer tone.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThis instrument combines the distinctive, aged sound characteristic of vintage Gibsons, a small body that’s easy to hold, and the potential for future value due to recent price increases. This charming 1967 Gibson B-25 is highly recommended not only for collectors but also for those seeking a vintage guitar they can play regularly.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nWhile it shows general signs of wear appropriate for its age—including a large scratch on the body top—the weather checking visible throughout lends it the distinctive character unique to vintage guitars. The neck is in good condition, and with a relatively low string action, it offers excellent playability, allowing you to enjoy it without any hassle. This guitar fully embodies the charm of a true vintage instrument, combining a rich tone developed over many years with a look full of character.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nCondition Grade: B+: Some scratches, but no issues for normal use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nSerial Number: 119495\u003cbr\u003e \nYear of Manufacture: 1967\u003cbr\u003e \nCountry of Manufacture: United States\u003cbr\u003e \nCase: Semi-hard case (non-original)\u003cbr\u003e \nAccessories: None\u003cbr\u003e \nWeight: 1.79 kg\u003cbr\u003e \nTruss Rod: No issues; checked up to 60 degrees to the left and right with no problems\u003cbr\u003e \nFret Wear: Still has enough life left to withstand filing, but the frets are on the low side\u003cbr\u003e \nString Height (Low String Side): 2.5 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nString action (treble side): 2.2 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nNut width: 40.6 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck thickness near the 1st fret: 20.4 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nScale: 628 mm (24.75\")\u003cbr\u003e \nRADIUS: 305 mm (12\")\u003cbr\u003e \nReplaced Parts: Nut, frets, bridge, bridge saddles, end pin\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* As this is a used item, there may be scratches, dents, or other imperfections that are not clearly visible in the photos or not listed here.
