Secondhand Gibson 1964 B-45-12 (CH SB)
If you're chasing that unmistakable mid-'60s 12‑string shimmer, the Gibson B‑45‑12 is a true era icon-built for big, chiming chords, rich fundamentals, and the kind of jangle that helped define a generation.
Era-specific features & highlights
- Classic Gibson B‑45‑12 12‑string acoustic design from the early-to-mid 1960s
- Typically a slope-shouldered dreadnought-style body for a bold, room-filling voice
- Woods and appointments commonly associated with the model/era (often spruce-topped with mahogany back and sides)
- 12‑string octave courses deliver a wide, chorused sound ideal for folk, roots, and vintage acoustic rock textures
- CH SB finish designation (sunburst-style look), with natural ageing/patina expected on a 1964 instrument
- Vintage character: honest wear, checking, and “played-in” feel may be present and can add to the guitar's uniqueness
As this is a secondhand vintage guitar, exact specifications, originality, condition, and any past repairs or upgrades can vary from instrument to instrument.
