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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBODY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Style\u003c\/strong\u003e : Round Shoulder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e : J-45\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e : Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop\u003c\/strong\u003e : Thermally Aged Red Spruce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBack\u003c\/strong\u003e : Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide\u003c\/strong\u003e : Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBracing\u003c\/strong\u003e : Traditional Hand-scalloped X-bracing, Red Spruce Braces with Hide Glue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e : Single-ply Top and Back\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e : Murphy Lab Aged Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNECK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfile\u003c\/strong\u003e : Historic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length\u003c\/strong\u003e : 628.65 mm \/ 24.75 in\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Material\u003c\/strong\u003e : Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e : 304.8 mm \/ 12 in\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Material\u003c\/strong\u003e : Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFret Count\u003c\/strong\u003e : 19\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrets\u003c\/strong\u003e : Legend Wire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Material\u003c\/strong\u003e : Bone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width\u003c\/strong\u003e : 43.81 mm \/ 1.724 in\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInlays\u003c\/strong\u003e : Mother of Pearl Dot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoint\u003c\/strong\u003e : Compound Dovetail Neck-to-Body\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHARDWARE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish \u003c\/strong\u003e: Aged Nickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge\u003c\/strong\u003e : Rosewood; Rectangle, Open Slot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaddle Material\u003c\/strong\u003e : Bone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuning Machines\u003c\/strong\u003e : Strap Style, Open Back, Cream Buttons, Aged\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickguard\u003c\/strong\u003e : Tear Drop Tortoise, Aged\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTruss Rod Cover\u003c\/strong\u003e : Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge Pins\u003c\/strong\u003e : Bone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMISCELLANEOUS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrings Gauge\u003c\/strong\u003e : .012, .016, .024, .032, .042, .053\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase \u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardshell Case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51746099232984,"sku":"CSRS45VSHA","price":10990.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/7705\/4168\/files\/1_8_2ddb1358-98ae-4288-b142-4a9a838f248d.jpg?v=1780115931","url":"https:\/\/gibsonguitaravenue.com.sg\/products\/gibson-acoustic-1942-banner-j-45-heavy-aged-acoustic-guitar-vintage-sunburst","provider":"Gibson Guitar Avenue SG","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
