“I got it for 800 bucks, and it became an important guitar. I took it over to Jake Kiszka’s house – he whipped out a case and he had the same one”: Mirador’s Chris Turpin on the ‘sleeper’ star of his vintage guitar collection

Chris Turpin's 1960s Gibson B-25 12-String.

Guitarist and producer Chris Turpin of Ida Mae and his Jake Kiszka collab Mirador has an enviable selection of vintage guitars to work with, but one of his most frequently used instruments proves that buying vintage can be quite affordable.

His prized acoustic is a Gibson B-25 12-string, which began life as a budget instrument when it was first introduced in 1962. Glen Campbell used one and it appeared on the cover of his 1964 Capitol Records album The Astounding 12-String Guitar Of Glen Campbell.
