    Description

    1966 Gibson B-25N Natural Acoustic Guitar USA Project UFIX + Non Original Case
    Serial number 228818(?) comes up as a 1966 according to the website that I found online.
    Guitar appears to be all original but is missing the pickguard and top of body has a crack below the bridge that extends almost to bottom of guitar edge. There are also a couple of smaller cracks between the bridge and the soundhole and a small crack on the back that looks like a surface crack. Single line Kluson Deluxe tuners are in good shape overall. The D & G post have a slight bend to them but still work fine.
    Neck looks straight and neck heel is nice and tight against body without any lift. Action is pretty low but strings do buzz on some frets. I checked the truss rod adjustment and it did turn in both directions and appears to be working. The plastic bridge has a height adjustable saddle which is working. Frets have some divots in the them and fingerboard has some grooves in them as shown in pictures.
    Great candidate for restoration. Body binding is in great shape and the rest of the guitar is in fine shape.
    Comes with non-original hardshell case shown. Case is in good condition overall and fits this guitar perfectly.
    Guitar sounds good and actually plays pretty decently as is but could use some luthier expertise and a professional set up. Guitar was cleaned, fingerboard oiled, frets polished and a new set of light gauge strings installed.
    This is a pre owned, vintage guitar that is over 50 years old and and will show wear commensurate of age and use. There are dings, dents, scratches, etc.
    I am not the original owner and do not know the past history of this instrument.
    Please see all pics and video for more details.
    Message me for video demo. Please search “1966 Gibson B-25 Natural Acoustic Guitar USA” for video demo. I am left handed playing this right handed guitar upside down. The guitar is strung as intended for right handed players.
    Please ask any questions before bidding. I am happy to share any other photos of this guitar with you so please ask for them before making a bid.
    Selling AS IS and as shown and described. I am not a luthier but I enjoy guitars and have told everything I know about this one as I have observed it.
