Description

This 2025 Gibson '42 Banner J-45 in Sunburst is built as a tribute to the iconic wartime originals, and this particular example gets impressively close in both feel and tone. It delivers a strong low end, focused midrange punch, and crisp, articulate highs for a balanced yet powerful sound. 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 really stands out among modern Gibson acoustics. The guitar is in excellent condition overall, with only some wear on the underside where it rests on your leg. The only modification is a strap button added at the heel. Comes with the original hard shell case.

*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.
