1967 Gibson B-25-12 AS-IS
Here’s a late 1960’s B-25 twelve string that’s ready for a bit of TLC. There is a crack along the bass edge of the fingerboard that has allowed the neck to slip forward a few millimeters. The action is high as a result. Apart from the bridge saddle the guitar is original and complete. It is still somewhat playable, but don’t expect to get much past the 3rd fret without the neck reset and crack repair this one needs. Once fixed, this ought to be a great sounding little 12 string guitar.

1940's Regal Le Domino "Big Boy"
Originally a Stewart trademark, Tonk Bros acquired the “Le Domino” brand in the early 1930’s and soon sold it to regal who continued to build instruments with the popular Domino motif. This “Big Boy” archtop likely dates from the late 1930’s, and was built in Chicago by Regal. Most surviving Dominos are Ukes, but a fair number of guitars, banjos, and mandolins were built and survive to this day. This round-hole arch-top is has a pressed ladder-braced birch top and flat braced birch back. The fingerboard and body are adorned with Domino decals; and the soundhole, body, and fingerboard are bound in white. Original tuners, pickguard, tailpiece. Newer nut and bridge. Some sloppily reglued braces inside, and one side of the back’s binding has been less than skillfully replaced with non-matching ivoroid stock. The guitar plays well though, and has a cool lo-fi throaty sound. Offered for sale AS-IS.
US $699
