Description:
Considered by many to be the preeminent vintage acoustic guitar, the Gibson J-45 Jumbo has inspired generations of songwriters and performers, finding its way onto countless hit records and gracing stages all over the world. In celebration of the J-45's proud history, Gibson has released the 1942 Banner edition J-45.
Meticulously constructed with old school craftsmanship, the 1942 Banner J-45 is a portal to another time, with a smooth vintage sound and an intangible vibe.
Gorgeous thermally-aged Adirondack spruce tops the 1942 Banner J-45's mahogany back and sides, combining for a warm, sonorous tone that projects admirably from its Jumo-sized body. The thermally-aging process draws out the best characteristics of this tonewood pairing and imbues the 1942 Banner J-45 with a lived-in quality, unlike other newly produced acoustics.
Premium appointments include a bone nut, open-back cream tuners, mother-of-pearl neck inlays, hand-sprayed burst top, and a hot hide glue top bracing for superior tonal response. Wrap your hands around this legendary guitar, available from Gino Guitars!
