Question What kind of Gibson is Dylan playing in this 2022 video?

An usual clip from the old man, singing alone offstage. I'm fairly certain I see Gibson on the headstock.

Looks like a Gibson LG body shape. Not sure if it's an LG1, 2 or 3

Looks to me like a 60s B-25 on account of what looks like a smaller body a plastic bridge.

I agree with this.

It's possibly a 60's LG-3 with the adjustable bridge. It could also be a B-25N. It sounded pretty darned good to me.

Looks like a LG 3. And a nice one.

Surprising to see how many great vintage Gibson’s Dylan used in the early days?
Pretty sure I’ve seen him with a Nick Lucas Gibson in between the Martin guitars he played so fair play for still playing Gibson guitars.

If it's Dylan, I'm betting on the LG3

My boy Rhett Miller sometimes plays a 60s B-25 in his StageIt pandemic shows (he has even gone so far to say that it's his #1, which is saying something). This is the only video I can find out of at the moment, but it looks similar to what Bob is playing.

It looks a lot like this 1964 Gibson B25N, skinny neck and plastic bridge:

I was watching every show Rhett was doing from his house during the beginning of the pandemic. He was great and so cool to the fans. Such a great performer.

Default B-25 N.

It's a mid-60's Gibson B-25 N.

Last time we saw Dylan was in 2016. He spent the entire night with a mic in hand or sitting behind a piano never once reaching for any guitar. The story I heard was it had to do with arthritis and his hands. He seems to be managing in the video though.

If it's a Gibson LG, it could only be the LG 3. LG 1 was a mahogany brown top (during World War2; after World War2, it became a sunburst spruce top); LG 2 was a spruce top sunburst; LG 3 was a spruce top natural.

The LG 2 guitars were re-named B-25 in late 1962; they became the sunburst B-25. The LG 3 was renamed the B-25N (natural) in late 1962, as well.
