{"product_id":"vintage-gibson-b-25-12n-12-string-usa-1963","title":"Vintage Gibson B-25-12N 12-String - USA 1963","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Gibson B-25-12N stands as one of Gibson's most beloved small-body twelve-strings, introduced in the early 1960s to bring the chime and shimmer of a twelve-string into Gibson's compact, comfortable B-25 body shape. Where many twelve-strings of the era were built on larger jumbo platforms, the B-25-12N proved that a smaller body could still deliver genuine twelve-string sparkle without sacrificing playability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis 1963 example, finished in Natural, carries serial number 142492 stamped on the back of the headstock. The mahogany back and sides show a rich, even patina that only comes with genuine age, and the spruce top has aged to a warm honey tone typical of guitars from this era. No cracks are present anywhere on the body, top, or headstock. Visible wear includes light surface scuffing and buckle-style marks to the back, along with honest handling marks consistent with over sixty years of ownership, all cosmetic rather than structural.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePlayability-wise, the neck presents straight with no visible warping, bowing, or fret sprout in the photos, and the twelve-string headstock and tuners appear complete and original throughout. Sonically, these B-25-12N models are known for a surprisingly full, ringing voice for their size, more focused and articulate than a jumbo twelve-string, with the characteristic shimmer and chime that made this model a favourite for fingerstyle and strummed accompaniment alike. Comes complete with original hardshell Gator case with a broken handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAction at 1st Fret: 0.5mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAction at 12th Fret: 2.25mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNeck Depth at 1st Fret: 23.41mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNut Width: 51.07mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWidth at 12th Fret: 59.94mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWeight: 2.06kg \/ 4.54lb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eModel: Gibson B-25-12N\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSerial Number: 142492\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eYear: 1963\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFinish: Natural\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBody: Mahogany Back \u0026amp; Sides\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTop: Spruce\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNeck: Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eStrings: 12-String Configuration\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCase: Original Hardshell Case (Gator OHSC)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCrafted in: Gibson, Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48851936215193,"sku":"26166","price":4995.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0283\/1905\/6012\/files\/1_0b7fbf95-fb57-4b14-9ce1-069df6bf0110.png?v=1786412955","url":"https:\/\/www.premierguitars.com.au\/products\/vintage-gibson-b-25-12n-12-string-usa-1963","provider":"Premier Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
