1963 Gibson B45-12-N – Natural
We present an original 1963 Gibson B45-12-N in its original Natural finish. Made in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
This vintage 12-string acoustic guitar features mahogany back, sides, and neck, paired with a beautiful spruce top. It has a blackened peghead veneer with the classic Gibson decal at the top, along with two pearloid symmetrical triangle inlays in the center. The rosewood fingerboard is adorned with pearloid dot inlays. The top and back are bound in antiqued cream, with an extra black line accent on the top face. Overall, this guitar is in great condition, showing only light nicks, dings, and cosmetic playwear consistent with its age.
The original frets and nut have plenty of life remaining, showing only minimal wear. The nickel Kluson Deluxe tuners with original white buttons are all intact and functional — one tuner is slightly bent but works flawlessly. This is simply a fantastic-sounding vintage 12-string acoustic with rich tonal character.
Comes complete with its original hardshell case. Latches and handle are in perfect working order.
Repairs done by a professional Luthier:
- Original rosewood bridge has been reglued.
- New bridge pins.
- Added a strap button.
- Repaired hole from an old strap on the neck.
