« Gibson B - 25 »

My mom bought this guitar back in the 70's for about 200 dollars. Since it was small she gave it to me to use as a first guitar (lucky me). As a side note i would like to mention that the little piece of paper that was originally inside the guitar has fallen out so we are not sure as to exactly what model this guitar is. My mom thinks B-25 but it could be another B model.

Now that i've been playing for awhile i notice the quality of this guitar. For its size its got a pretty loud sound, and its tone is sweet also (this is probably helped by the aged wood). The guitar stays in tune extrememly well. I still appreciate its size, especially the neck and its shape. I never could get used to those bigger accoustics.

I can't think of anything i really dislike that is the fault of the guitar. Its old, its banged up, but it still sounds good.

The things still in one piece after over 30 years despite a lot of (paint) cracks, wear and tear.

Well i guess i should start by saying good luck finding one of these things. I havent seen another one yet but thats just me. Its a great little guitar making it good for a beginner, although there are cheaper guitars that would do just as well. As a vintage gibson the quality is also gonna be pretty good even for more advanced player. I'd give it a 5.
