The allure and legend of the Gibson J-45 lives on in the new Custom Historic 1942 Banner J-45.

The allure and legend of the Gibson J45 lives on in the new Custom Historic 1942 Banner J45. Inspired by the holy grail of vintage acoustic instruments, luthiers in Montana meticulously crafted a J45 just like the most popular and celebrated version in structure and components.

 

The new 1942 Banner J45 includes a Thermally Aged Adirondack red spruce top hand-sprayed with a historic-style burst, hot hide glue top bracing for better tonal response, and a bone nut and saddle.

 

This model is known for its full, balanced expression, warm bass and excellent projection. The classic combination of a Red Spruce top with Mahogany sides and back produces a tone with enhanced dynamic range, a warm midrange and a tight low end.

 

The guitar comes with a certificate of authenticity and TFOA passport in a hardshell case.
