Question for Gibson vintage buffs

[jomaco]

I am new to this board and like a few others, I have just gotten back into guitars after many years and am amazed at how far technology has come in the last twenty years. The first question I have concerns my first real guitar. It is a B-25 Gibson Deluxe that I traded an Ovation 12-string straight-up for in 1975 right before the Army shipped me off to Germany. At the time (1975), it probably wasn't a very financially sound trade but the years of enjoyment I got from that little Gibson far out weighed the difference in the price of the guitars. Now I have seen a lot of these B-25's sold on eBay but not one of them like this one. It has a Gibson sticker inside and a fixed bridge. I also has the number 2 stamped above the serial number which I think means it was defective in some way. I still don't know what that defect might be. I will try to post the pictures I've taken of this little beauty and hopefully some of you out there will be able to enlighten me. Thanks for a forum like this.
