2022 GIBSON Small Body Acogi Fair
Gibson's representative model of small body "B-25
The first smallbody guitar was the L-1 in 1902, 120 years ago.
In 1932, the L-00, the prototype of the B-25, was introduced
In 1942, the L-00 was replaced by the LG-2 (sunburst) and LG-3 (natural)
In 1943, LG-1 with ladder bracing is announced
In 1962, LG-2 was named B-25, and in 1963, LG-3 was named B-25 Natural.
The differences in model names seem to have been classified according to the presence or absence of coloring and the grade of wood.
This characteristic is similar to the relationship between the J-45 and J-50, with the natural top spruce costing more because it was knot-free.
Since the introduction of the B-25 in 1962, there have been more variations in color and
Natural, sunburst, cherry sunburst (used for LG-2 in 1961), and between 1967 and 1969, black, brown, and red were available.
The basic wood specs are the same as those of Gibson's traditional acoustic guitars: spruce top and mahogany body.
In terms of sound, the crisp mid-range image familiar from the J-45.J-50 is retained, while the 14 1/8" wide, 2" smaller body size and ladder bracing give the impression of a more distinctive sound.
It responds well to the player's playing, so it shows its true value in strong strokes and cutting, while on the other hand, it is a little weak on arpeggios in ballads.
Even when played strongly, it does not produce extra low-mids, so it does not interfere with vocals, and it is also suitable for live performances, as it does not cover the bandwidth of the bass when mixed with an ensemble.
