Explanation
Gibson / 1964 B-25N
[Demo Video]
Named the B-25N in 1962 as the successor to the LG-3, this model represents a transitional period during which the pickguard specifications were changed.
- Thin large pickguard
In 1964, the J-45 and other models underwent a specification change from a thin, tortoiseshell-patterned large pickguard to a thicker, reddish pickguard, but this particular instrument retains the original thin, large pickguard.RecruitIt is being done.
- Upper Belly Bridge
The 1964 B-25N was equipped with an adjustable bridge, but this particular instrument has had the entire bridge replaced with a slotted saddle bridge (judging from the grain and pores, it appears to be mahogany).
Additionally, a veneer plate has been added to the bridge plate inside the body (directly below the bridge), with the original spruce plate overlapping it.
I suspect this is to ensure sufficient strength when replacing the bridge.
Furthermore, while there are usually only two rows of diagonal bracing directly beneath the bridge plate, this instrument has an additional bracing directly beneath the bridge, running parallel to the bottom surface of the bridge plate.
I suspect this is likely a modification made to increase the strength of the top, or perhaps to suppress top vibration and prevent feedback when using pickups.
- Top material
This small-bodied instrument uses spruce wood.
The natural finish body is wrapped in binding that combines white and black.
- Side/back material
The mahogany sides and back are finished in cherry red.
The mahogany grain is beautiful, suggesting that high-quality materials were used.
- Fingerboard
The rosewood fretboard has dot position markers.RecruitIt is being done.
Additionally, repairs to the fretboard can be seen from the 1st to the 5th floor.
I believe this was a repair done to flatten the indentations on the fretboard caused by pressing down on the strings.
- neck
The mahogany neck features a thin shape, making it comfortable to hold.
A strap pin has been added to the heel.
- Headstock
The headstock features a simple Gibson silkscreen logo.Recruit。
The bell-shaped truss rod cover is a single piece.
- Tuning Machine
Equipped with KLUSON 3-in-line tuners (single line).
This is a great choice for those who prefer a small body but like the sound of a slot saddle rather than an adjustable saddle.
It also features an LRBaggs Anthem SL, making it ideal for street performances and live shows.
[Comment from the person in charge: Hoshino]
The bridge area has been replaced, but after examining the actual instrument, I got the impression that this is a guitar that has been played with a focus on tone, considering the selection of pickups and other factors.
While it doesn't have the typical Adjustable tone, it has an interesting characteristic: it somehow retains that unique airiness characteristic of Adjustable pickups.
