This mid 60’s Gibson 12 string is a comfortable 14 /14″ wide body with a spruce top and mahogany sides and back. The mahogany neck has a rosewood fretboard and is 14 frets clear of the body with a 24 3/4″ scale length. These guitars were made between 1962-1977 and this example also features an adjustable saddle and beautiful sunburst finish. This guitar has seen a decent amount of wear and tear and there is a fair bit of lacquer checking but it is decent overall condition and comes with a newer hardshell case.

Tags: factory tour, Gibson

On April 25th 2010, I flew to Nashville along with 13 other Canadians to visit Gibson Guitars. Our group was assembled and led by Jeff Cowling and Jeremy Berger of Yorkville Sound; the Canadian distributor for Gibson. Over the next 4 days, our group would visit Gibson USA, Epiphone USA, Gibson Custom in Nashville, and Gibson Custom in Memphis. We were treated to in-depth tours of the guitar building facilities, as well as some hands-on time with new prototypes and upcoming models. We also got to spend some time in two of the most important cities in music history.
