Gibson B25-12 12 String Acoustic Guitar with Pickup, 1965

On January 26, 2023 /

In the 1960’s, 12-strings like the Gibson B25-12 were very popular, and the 12 was found on many recordings, in Canada especially Gordon Lightfoot’s. Here we’re looking at a Gibson B25-12 from 1965, with some very practical modifications that make it a practical, gigging 12 string with a great vintage sound.

Gibson SG Supreme Fireburst, 2002

On January 26, 2023 /

The Gibson SG Supreme was built from 1999 to 2009 and features a figured Maple cap on a Mahogany slab body, paired with a Mahogany neck and bound Richlite fingerboard. At first, the SG Supreme was equipped with a pair of P-90 pickups, but these were phased out in favour of Humbuckers over the year 2000 and into 2001. In 2002, the ‘Fireburst’ finish seen here started rising from the tail of the guitar, rather than the traditional burst with dark edges and lighter center.

Gibson J-45 Sunburst, 1955

On January 23, 2023 /

The Gibson J-45 Slope Shouldered dreadnought, or Jumbo, was introduced in 1942 to replace the J-35, which had been built since 1936. It has remained in production ever since, and its rich warm tones make it a great match with a singer. Its basic finish has from introduction been a Sunburst top with darker stained back, sides and neck.

On January 23, 2023 /

The Gibson J-200 Artist was produced in Kalamazoo, Michigan during the latter part of the 1970’s into the early 1980’s. Essentially a continuation of the ‘standard’ level SJ-200 introduced in 1938, this variant carried a number of Norlin-era characteristics such as a headstock volute and a less elaborate bridge.

Gibson Firebird V Tobacco Sunburst, 2013

On January 22, 2023 /

Here’s a very nice Gibson Firebird V in Tobacco Sunburst, built during 2013 at Nashville, Tennessee and sporting Steinberger locking, gearless tuners in place of the original Kluson banjo models. Firebirds are one of my favourite models, and this one is very resonant and lively. As a bonus, the lighter Steinberger locking tuners help with the guitar’s balance.
