I was thinking LG3 which was the natural finish LG's. In one of the photos it appears to say B-25 where my LG1 stamp is. That would also make sense as that is what replaced the LG3 I think. My guess is someone removed the pickguard. You can see it is X braced.

 

As for the bridge... many have been removed and replaced especially the old plastic ones from the mid 60's.

i meant that it looks placed too far back from the "normal" position...but maybe it's just the photo angle or something. i think even steel stringed Folksingers were basically LG-3s, or really close at least so, i suppose it doesn't make much sense the whole bridge thing.

Thats what I thought when I looked at the photos.

 

WHEW.30380551gu5.gif. Thanks. I don't have to buy new reading glasses (or you need new reading glasses too.:- ).

There's an old thread (that got me introduced to the Gibson Forums) about a 12 string, 12 fret sunburst "B" that ksdaddy was helping identify for someone..

F25 Folk Singer

 

 

Right on. I have one. Great guitar. the bridge looks funny because of the 12 fret neck that places the bridge at the lower spot just like a classical guitar. They originally had white "taplates" on either side of the sound hole that looked pretty silly. Mine were gone when I found it and the top had been shoddily refinished.

Great guitar nonetheless.
