Default What case for a Gibson B-25-12N?

I'm trying to find a hard case for the Gibson B-25-12. Does anyone know off the top of their head what case might fit.

It will fit the B25-12? The headstock will fit?

I have a B-25-12N. They are by themselves with regard to cases. I did a complete restoration on mine some 12 years ago. It had no case when I got it. I looked on eBay and found a seller who had Dred,,00, and 000 cases.

I contacted him and asked about a case for the B-12-25. So happened that he had some. It's a case for something link a triple O with custom pads in the bouts. It was a perfect fit and cost ony $65 plus shipping. That was about 6 years ago.

I'd suggest that you do the same thing. Look up some case sellers on eBay and contact them. You might get lucky as I did.

Hi, Make sure that you measure your guitar exactly across the upper and lower bouts and also for the extra length of the peghead on the 12 string neck.

You can double check measurements with the seller.

I really like the B-25-12. Mine has the trapeze tailpiece and the top is still flat after more than 50 years.

I've owned two B-45-12's and my present B-25. They were all good but I like the smaller body.They have a good sound but the best 12 string neck in the business, at least in my opinion.

The prices on these instruments have doubled in the past 10 years. They have almost become a cult guitar.

Good luck!
