Description
The allure and legend of the Gibson J-45 lives on in the new Custom Historic 1942 Banner J-45. Inspired by the holy grail of vintage acoustic instruments, luthiers in Montana meticulously crafted a J-45 in structure and components just like the most popular and celebrated version. The new 1942 Banner J-45 includes a Thermally Aged Adirondack red spruce top, hot hide glue top bracing for better tonal response, and a bone nut and saddle. Hand sprayed with with a historic-style burst.
