Gibson Custom Shop Historic 1942 Banner J-45 Legend 2016
This is one of 34 guitars made in a special limited edition Legend run. You don't see many of these in the US because a lot of them were shipped to collectors in Japan upon their release. The entire body of the guitar is torrified, front, back, sides and bracing with hide glue construction of the Adirondack spruce bracing and mahogany neck. The top is Adirondack spruce, and the back and sides are genuine mahogany. The nut width is 1-3/4 inches. It is the closest both spec and sound wise, that I've ever seen or heard to a vintage J45. The neck on the guitar is a much thicker neck similar to those pre-war Gibsons and I believe that also adds to the sound. The guitar is in excellent condition with only a minor finish chip on the headstock. The action is medium low with a straight neck and a ton of saddle left. The frets are also in outstanding condition. Available for local pick up in Boca Raton, Florida, or will ship for $125 in the US.
