Description

First introduced in 1942, the Gibson J-45 has long been the company's best-selling acoustic guitar, thanks to its incredible tonal balance, powerful projection, and deep bass response. The Murphy Lab 1942 Banner J-45 celebrates everything players know and love about the model, making it a must-have for collectors and performers seeking a world-class vintage-inspired acoustic guitar.

A mahogany body and a thermally aged red spruce top set the tonal foundation for the 1942 Banner J-45. With every strum, you'll hear rich lows, a warm and punchy midrange, and crystal-clear highs. The top's thermal-aging treatment recreates the sweet, resonant sound of a well-played acoustic guitar, guaranteeing a stage-ready tone from the moment you remove it from the case. It also features a hot hide glue top bracing, a bone nut and saddle, and a rosewood bridge for an enhanced sonic response.

Aesthetically, the 1942 Banner J-45 is a true stunner. The master artisans at the Gibson Murphy Lab hand-sprayed it with a period-correct burst, while mother-of-pearl dot inlays and a tortoiseshell pickguard give it a traditional appearance. The guitar's Heavy Aged finish treatment simulates years of aggressive playwear, making it nearly identical to a genuine '40s Gibson.

The Gibson Murphy Lab 1942 Banner J-45 ships in a historically accurate hardshell case for safe protection. Check it out today if you've been searching for a first-rate acoustic guitar with an old-school soul!
