Gibson 1942 Banner J45 Heavy Aged Vintage SunburstAcoustic Guitar
The allure and legend of the Gibson J-45™ live on in the new Murphy Lab 1942 Banner J-45 Heavy Aged. Inspired by the holy grail of vintage acoustic instruments, luthiers in Bozeman, Montana meticulously crafted a J-45 just like the most popular and celebrated version in structure and components. The new 1942 Banner J-45 includes a thermally aged red spruce top that helps give it the tone of a long-cherished heirloom. It is hand-sprayed with a historic-style burst using nitrocellulose lacquer. The hand-scalloped top X bracing is also made from red spruce and the braces are fitted with hot hide glue for better tonal response. The 1942 Banner J-45 Heavy Aged is crafted using solid mahogany for the back and sides, and the top and back are both bound with single-ply binding. The nut, saddle, and bridge pins are bone. The rosewood open slot bridge features the rectangular shape found on the earliest J-45 models. The tuning machines are strap-style, open-back units with cream buttons. The tortoise shell-colored pickguard features the original teardrop shape. The 1942 Banner J-45 Heavy Aged features Heavy Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Heavy Aged finish treatment, paired with heavily aged nickel hardware, simulates decades of heavy play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era. Expect a heavy weather-checked finish, heavy belt buckle wear, light arm wear, and light neckwear. A period-correct Gibson Custom hardshell case is also included to keep this beautiful guitar safe when not in use, and a certificate of authenticity is also included.
