Gibson / B25-12 / 1967 / Sunburst / Guitar
This 1967 Gibson B25-12 is one of the few examples where a small bodied guitar makes a great 12 string - the Spruce top and Mahogany back and sides give the guitar and bright, punchy, room filling tone. It's in good condition with great looking lacquer checking over the beautiful cherry sunburst finish, and it's in all original condition. It sounds much better than most B25-12's I've played, and has a surprisingly low action for a 12 string making it a very comfortable guitar to play. It's perfect for someone who struggles with traditional big bodied 12 strings, or just for someone who wants a really cool 12 string. It has a crack by the pickguard which doesn't go through the wood and is very tight. Also the top has sunk around the soundhole, something very common on older 12 strings, but the top is strong and the bridge is very tight. It comes in a non original hard case.
Glenns Guitars, UK
Welcome to Glenn's Guitars here on Vintage & Rare. After many years in the industry, and having been fortunate enough to have worked in Hanks and The Acoustic Centre - probably London's two foremost acoustic guitar shops - I decided to do my own thing.
I have a passion for used and vintage acoustic guitars; nearly new second hand guitars because they can represent a bargain compared to the price of a new guitar, older and vintage guitars because they tend to have more character and can often become an investment.
You will notice when viewing my stock list my taste in guitars, as I only sell guitars that I genuinely like - and there are certain brands noticeable by their absence. I am a huge fan of older Gibson, Martin and Guild acoustics, but also more boutique brands such as Lowden and Collings.
I will consider part exchange if it makes your desired guitar a little easier to afford. I also offer a guitar finding service, if there's something specific you're looking for.
If you are happy to buy over the internet, I will send you as many high resolution photos and as much information about the guitar you're interested in as I can. If you can get to me - I'm based in Enfield, only 30 minutes from London Liverpool Street Station - you can always make an appointment with me and come and try some of the guitars out first.
I accept payment by Paypal, bank transfer, cheque and of course cash.
