1968 Gibson B-25N Guitar.
I played this as a child, when it was new, and am the 2nd owner.
It belonged to my guitar teacher who worked for L and J Music Store in Anchorage, AK.
He purchased it new, from the store, played it professionally, and allowed me to play it during our lessons.
I was around 7yrs old at the time.
Months later, when he purchased a new Martin, he secretly sold the guitar to my parents, who gave it to me for my birthday that year.
I quit taking lessons and playing it in 1975, and it has been in it's original case, with my original strap, picks, tuner, and polish, ever since.
It has never sat out on display.
This is the model with X-braced interior, and the top is still flat.
Fret bars are as-new.
It's not broken inside, needs no work or repairs, is 100% original, and looks like the day it was first sold.
There's a slight bit of pick rash, just forward of the guard below the neck.
I was small as a child, and the guitar was huge on me, so I had to play it sort of "up front" in order to reach.
Rear bout is 14-1/4in.
Front bout is 11-1/8in.
Spruce top.
Mahogany back and sides.
Adjustable rosewood bridge.
If you've been looking for that one special Gibson B-25, with prominence dating back to when it was new, this one is very special.
It does have the normal cracking in the clear coat, both on the top, and on the side that faces up.

probably everywhere, but you really have to hold it in a certain light, and at certain angles to see the cracking.
I don't think I could get a photo of it.
Emails asking if it's still available or with lowball offers will just be deleted.
I'm not interested in putting strings back in it, and have anyone test drive it.
So be considerate, show up with cash, and a desire to own a wonderful guitar.
