The “1942 Banner J-45” features a thermally aged red spruce top and authentic vintage specifications, including glue-jointed construction.

Combining a round-shouldered body with mahogany sides and back and a thermally aged red spruce top, this guitar delivers rich mid-to-low frequencies, excellent response, and a powerful strumming feel. True to Gibson Custom’s commitment to historic authenticity, this model faithfully recreates the charm of the vintage J-45 down to the finest details, featuring hand-scalloped X-bracing, hide glue construction, a bone nut and saddle, open-back tuners, and a V-shaped neck.
