Made in USA
Very Good condition, 7,5/10, Made in USA, including original alligator soft shell case, 1 9/16" (39.7 mm) nut width, solid spruce top with X-bracing and one repaired crack at the upper waist, some reglued back braces, original plastic bridge with adjustable saddle, plenty of finish checking, some scratches and nicks, recently dressed frets, ready to play! more info: Fast-forward to 1962 when, for reasons unknown, Gibson switched many of their LG models over to the new B series. While essentially still the same, the differences between the two series ranged from cosmetic (new 3-ply binding) to important (a new plastic bridge). This screwed-on plastic bridge found on the B series remains a major discussion point amongst purists, because on many guitars the plastic bridge would crack and often cause the belly of an instrument to warp. Thats why a number of B-series guitars have replaced bridges and/or repaired tops, so one should be sure to double-check this when looking at one.
The B-25N featured a spruce top, laminated mahogany sides, a mahogany back, a rosewood fretboard with 14 frets clear of the body, dot inlays, 3-on-a-plate tuners, and the aforementioned plastic bridge. The scale length is 24 3/4", the lower bout (body width) is 14 1/4", the body length is 19 1/4", and the body depth is 4 1/2". It was available with a sunburst finish (B-25) or a natural finish like your B-25N. Other original-run B-series models included the B-15 (19671970), B-20 (19711972), B-25 3/4-scale (19621968), B-25 12-string (19621977), the B-45 12-string (19611979), and even a tenor version called the TG-25 (19621968).
