2020 Gibson 1942 J-45 Banner Reissue Acoustic Guitar, Vintage Sunburst With OHSC - Used

Item ID: ISS13534

Description

This 2020 Gibson Custom J-45 is a great example of a slope-shouldered dreadnought with vintage specifications.  It sports an aged Adirondack spruce top, a compound dovetail neck to body joint, and a hand sprayed thin nitro VOS finish to complete the vintage aesthetic. This guitar has a pronounced high end, which a fairly quick attack, while still maintaining strong fundamental balance to lows and mids. The historic neck profile plays easily and is not as bulky as some of its 50's style successors. The action on this guitar is low and handles well across the playing surface of the fingerboard.

This guitar is in very good condition and shows very little signs of wear. There is one ding on the top of the instrument near the seam of the two piece top. There are some pick marks from play on the top as well. On the back, there are some surface level marks from a belt buckle but nothing that goes past the finish into the grain. The case is also in very good condition and looks like it has not been traveled with or transported much.
