Gibson B-25 N 6 String with 1 11/16" nut

No sales tax for US customers outside California.

This Gibson B-25N 6-string acoustic is a classic small-body Gibson from the 1960s era, featuring the desirable 1 11/16" nut width for a more comfortable and familiar playing feel compared to the narrower versions often found on later examples. The B-25 evolved from the earlier LG-2 design, offering a warm, intimate voice and a compact body size that has made it a favorite among singer-songwriters and recording artists for decades.

Tonally, the B-25N delivers a focused and woody voice with a warm low end, strong midrange presence, and smooth, rounded highs. The smaller body size enhances note clarity and responsiveness, making it particularly well suited for fingerstyle playing, light strumming, and vocal accompaniment. It records beautifully, sitting naturally in a mix without overpowering other instruments. Vintage examples like this often exhibit a dry, open character that reflects decades of aging and musical use.

This example has been around the block a couple times, showing wear and dings throughout but with great playability and nice frets.  The neck angle is just right and the truss rod has room for future neck relief adjustment.  

The bridge is original - the plastic type that appeared for a short time in '64.  Unlike others we've picked up, the bridge is sound and solid where others are often warped and problematic.  The tuners are original.  There was a crack in the treble side of the headstock at some point long ago.  The repair is doweled - you can see the repair on the side of the headstock at the G and B tuners.  The repair is very solid.  There was a dead pickup installed when we received the guitar, so we removed it.  There is an output jack hole on the side of the lower bout.  The case is a basic, non-original chipboard case.  We will double box the case and guitar for shipment.

As with all instruments at Mahar’s Vintage Guitars, it has been fully inspected, photographed accurately, and professionally set up to play its absolute best. 

We buy, sell, and take trades.
