Just a few hours ago I finalized the deal I was looking into for a 1968 Gibson B-25-12 twelve string acoustic.There were others of the same model on the site for over $1,000 but I got this baby for incredibly less than that.Lots of pix just show 2 parallel cracks on the back but everything else is in A-1 condition.I can't wait to get her in my hot little hands.I wonder how long it will take to get to Newfoundland from Colorado by UPS. A few years ago it took the best part of 3 weeks for a fellow forum member to get a small package that I sent to him in California from Newfoundland,as far East as you can go in North America.

Anyway this is my first Gibson-even though I was hoping my first Gibson would be a model that John or George used..Oh well I'll settle for this puppy considering the bargain basement price.I believe that a Gibson 12 string was used on the Stones' "As Tears .Go By".Since it's so old,I'm going to use one of the 12 string sets that I make up for my other old 12 strings and they are: .008/.008 ,.010/.010 , .008/.014 ,.010/.20 , .014/.030 , .018W/.038 these gauges of strings not only reduce tension stress on the old neck but also make fingering a lot easier especially where 12 strings usually have much wider necks. I'll post pix as soon as she comes.
