• Built by Gibson's Murphy Lab, this J-45 Banner evokes the 1940s with its "light aged" slope-shouldered body, featuring a spruce top and mahogany back and sides. Finished in aged lacquer on a vintage sunburst, it includes a rosewood fingerboard, rectangle bridge, and 3-on-a-plate tuners. The iconic banner headstock reads "Only A Gibson Is Good Enough." Bright sounding and excellent to play, this guitar comes with its original hard shell case. Made in USA.
