Gilliangirl Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Hi Kellee, welcome to the forum. There's no serial number anywhere on the guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 B25s in good nick with no cracks etc generally go for around £800-£1100 over here, depending on the condition of the market and the guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombywoof Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I would check completed eBay auctions and also see what dealers are letting them go for to determine value in dollars. How much it is worth really depends on when it was made. There are several good sites out there which can help you date the guitar by serial number. Just type in something like collecting vintage Gibson guitars and you should find them - although they may not include info on instruments made after a certain date. While I am not certain where identifying numbers can be found on a B-25 (I have never owned one) - if there is no serial number on the back of the headstock - look on the neck block inside the guitar for a batch number (if I recall certain models did not have serial numbers). Although they are not extremely sought after guitars, B-25s in great shape made before '65 (when Gibson went to those automated neck machines) are the most desirable. The value, of course, drops on later models, especially those hitting the music stores from '69 on. The last early 1970s B-25 I ran across for sale went for less than $500. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburude63 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 $600 to $1000 depending on if its a Sunburst or Natural and the overall condition. suburude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellee14 Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 Thank you all for the advice. I beleive it is Sunburst all over (yes I am a virgin at this guitar thing) but I do know it is worth more then 20.00 (tommyK) It is a 6 string does that make a difference (6 or 5)? B-25 is the only thing listed I checked ebay but it looks like I need to know the year before I can post it. Also how do I post a picture of it to show what it looks like?
