1964 Gibson B-45-12 in original Cherry Sunburst just into the shop!

This is an exceptional example of the quintessential 1960s Gibson 12-string acoustic made famous by Gordon Lightfoot. It features the more-desirable adjustable Rosewood bridge, without the trapeze configuration commonly seen throughout the decade.

The tone is remarkably lively and resonant, which in no doubt is due to the lightness of build. While it does possess some of the characteristics of 60s Gibson flat-top tone (punchy midrange with moderate compression), it projects a bit more openly with a nice warm top end. The wider 2" nut width makes for an easy picking experience as well.
