Gibson B-15 (ca. 1967)

Student model from Gibson B series (45/25/15) made from 1967-1970 succeeding the LG-0 model. The specs varied slightly during the run, but this LG sized body has a 14.5" wide lower bout, with a ladder braced spruce top, rectangular bridge with adjustable wooden saddle (large spruce bridge plate), with black plastic pickguard; some gouging and finish wear present, with light crazing/checking present. Notably, there are two sealed cracks present in the top (see photos). This example has had its back and sides finished touched up nicely with accurate black nitro - the original porous grain still visible with light checking present - and one sealed back crack at the treble side lower bout.

The 24-3/4" scale mahogany neck has an unbound rosewood fingerboard, narrow 1 19/32" wide nut, with narrow Melody Maker peghead shape with silkscreen Gibson logo. A fun little box with 60 years of charm, plays well with low action measuring a typical 5/64" in height. The frets and fingerboard are very clean. 

Includes simple gig bag.
