Explanation
・Uncovering the History and Complete Story of Gibson Rare Colors!!
=============================================================
Gibson / 1968 B-25 Brown
By the late 1960s, models featuring non-catalog colors began appearing among Gibson and Epiphone acoustic guitars.
Confirmed models include the J-45, LG-1, and Texan.
ーThe B-25 in Brown
While typically appearing in Brown Sunburst, Cherry Sunburst, or Natural finishes, this instrument is a B-25 painted in brown.
It features a beautiful finish that allows the spruce grain to shine through, rather than being completely covered.
Weather checking enhances its vintage character.
The white large pickguard is secured with four screws. Its aged, cream-tinged color adds a subtle, mature charm.
While some warping from aging is visible, it doesn't catch during play, allowing you to focus on your performance with confidence.
The mahogany sides and back are finished in a dark walnut color that matches the top's coloring.
This finish enhances the wood's natural warmth.
The rosewood fingerboard features a 40mm nut width on a narrow neck, yet the slightly thicker neck provides a comfortable grip.
The mahogany neck features a U-shaped profile with a moderate thickness.
The upper belly bridge, like the fingerboard, is rosewood and features an adjustable saddle.
The headstock is adorned with Gibson's modern logo in gold silk-screen printing.
A one-piece bell-shaped truss rod cover is employed.
The tuning machines are KLUSON DELUXE triple-locking pegs, though they have been replaced from the original hardware.
In addition to its rare color, this is a crack-free specimen we confidently recommend as a collector's piece.
