Description

This 2023 Gibson '42 Banner J-45 in Sunburst is in virtually new condition, with a clean finish and no noticeable wear. Built as a tribute to the iconic wartime originals, this particular example comes impressively close in both feel and tone. It delivers strong low-end presence, a focused midrange punch, and crisp, articulate highs—balanced and bold. The tone has an airy quality, with plenty of headroom and dynamic range, making it equally responsive to a light touch or a heavy strum. With its full, vintage-style neck and classic slope-shoulder warmth, it’s a standout among modern Gibson acoustics. Comes with the OHSC.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
