Overview

Vintage-inspired J-45 acoustic with lightly aged finish and tuners.

Inspired by the holy grail of vintage acoustic instruments, the Gibson 1942 Banner J-45 includes a thermally aged adirondack red spruce top hand-sprayed with a historic-style burst, hot hide glue top bracing for better tonal response, plus an aged bone nut and saddle. It also features light aging by the skilled artisans of Murphy Lab, paired with lightly aged hardware to simulate decades of light wear. This gives the 1942 Banner J-45 the unique character, vibe and feel of an original model from the Gibson golden era.

Features

  • Spruce top and mahogany body
  • Mahogany neck with Historic profile
