Gibson Custom 1942 Banner J-45 Acoustic Vintage Sunburst

The Gibson Custom 1942 Banner J-45 Vintage Sunburst is a masterful recreation of the iconic "Workhorse" that defined an era. Paying homage to one of the most celebrated acoustic guitars in history, this Custom Historic edition captures the magic of the original with meticulous craftsmanship and period-accurate details. Its Thermally Aged Adirondack red spruce top is paired with hot hide glue top bracing, delivering unparalleled tonal response and warmth reminiscent of vintage instruments.

Finished in a hand-sprayed historic-style sunburst, the 1942 Banner J-45 not only looks timeless but also sounds like a piece of history. The bone nut and saddle enhance sustain and clarity, while the classic round-shoulder dreadnought body ensures rich, balanced projection. From its authentic feel to its inspiring tone, this J-45 is a fitting tribute to an enduring legend, designed for those who seek the ultimate acoustic experience.
