Description

From Gibson's Acoustic Custom Shop, the 1942 Banner Southern Jumbo is an impressive instrument in every respect. This vintage-vibe acoustic comes together with a Thermally Aged Adirondack red spruce top and rosewood back and sides. Together, these woods produce rich and refined acoustic tones that hearken back to original Gibson acoustics of the originating eras. A rosewood fingerboard and "C"-shaped mahogany neck make the Southern Jumbo effortlessly playable from lower to higher frets, producing iconic Gibson tones no matter where your hands land. The period-correct stylings of this guitar make it a standout, as if picked straight from Gibson's original lineup. With the proud slogan "Only a Gibson is Good Enough" emblazoned on the headstock, Gibson's legacy is as outstanding as ever even generations later.
