1968 B-25N
Description
Gibson / 1968 B-25N
Gibson's representative small body model
It all started 120 years ago, back in 1902, with the introduction of the L-1.
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) LG-3 (natural).
In 1962, LG-2 was renamed B-25, and in 1963, LG-3 was renamed B-25 Natural.
The difference in model names is classified by 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, which means that the natural top spruce was more costly 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 on the LG-2 in 1961), and between 1967 and 1969, black, brown, and red were available.
Specs are the same as Gibson's traditional flat top with spruce top and mahogany body.
In terms of sound, the crisp mid-range image familiar from the J-45 and J-50 is retained, while the 14 1/8"-wide body is about 2 inches smaller and the bass component is more subdued, and the X-bracing makes the Gibson character stand out even more. The X-bracing gives the impression of a more pronounced Gibson sound.
It responds well to the player's playing, so it shows its true value in strong picking such as strokes and cutting, while on the other hand, it is a little weak on arpeggios in ballads.
Even when played strongly, the B-25 does not produce an extra low midrange, so it does not interfere with vocals, and even when mixed in an ensemble, it does not cover the bandwidth of the bass guitar. If you ask me, "Which acoustic guitar do you recommend for live performance?
It has been over 60 years since its birth, and although it is a little less prominent than the J-45 and J-50, famous Japanese artists such as Tamio Okuda, Tortoise Matsumoto, Sugashicao, Masahiko Shimura, Gen Hoshino, and Hanana Uemura have used the B-25, making it a guitar with more appeal than just a sub for the J-45. The B-25 is a guitar that has so much more to offer than just being a sub for the J-45.
This guitar also has the characteristics of 60's Gibson guitars, with an impressive low frequency range that is not saturated.
The sound is a little more lush than crisp, and matches well with a quieter atmosphere.
It is also interesting that the serial stamp on the back of the head has been struck twice. There may have been some irregularity in the production process.
The logo on the pickguard, which tends to disappear, is still there and in excellent condition, which is hard to believe that almost 60 years have passed.
