This is an exceptional sounding banner J 45 with a spruce top and maple back and sides. This guitar was sent back to Gibson, from Hawaii in August of 1947 and refinished there and then in Kalamazoo. The logo was replaced and there are some circa 1947 phillips screws holding the original tuners on. The guitar is still very intact with very little damage or playing wear. The sound is bold, and beautiful. The neck is the somewhat typical big and round Maple and Walnut five piece neck from 1944. This is the third guitar in our fun boy three J 45 promotion this month. Thanks for asking.
