2013 Gibson 1942 J-45 Banner Reissue
2013 Gibson 1942 J-45 Banner Reissue
***Back for sale!*** Have an inkling for a J-45 Legend but don’t have the budget? This may be the guitar for you! This instrument is a reissue based on the author of Kalamazoo Girls by John Thomas. John apparently worked with the Gibson custom folks to build a reissue of his J-45. It’s a great guitar, with the classic Gibson sound. Specifics include a rosewood fretboard and bridge, Adirondack spruce top, mahogany back and sides. It has a 1 ¾ neck that is pretty big and chunky, however I find it very comfortable. The guitar is in very good condition, and the fit and finish of the instrument is excellent. If you look carefully I’m sure you’ll see some scratches, but honestly, you have to look carefully; I can’t find any. I’d rate it a 9.5 since no used guitar is ever a 10 once it leaves the factory IMHO. I had a J-45 TV a while back but I wasn’t wild about the tone and really disliked the large bridge. I like the 1942 style bridge and really like the tone of this instrument! The previous owner replaced the white tuning machine buttons with Stew Mac vintage buttons, which gives it a much more vintage look. Only selling because I purchased a friend’s Collings. I’m not really interested in trading at this time. Price: $2,400 PayPal family which covers shipping to anywhere CONUS These don’t come up often, and those who are fortunate to have them rave about the tone and overall coolness of the vintage feel. I've also unleashed my tonerite on the instrument, for about 48 hours. Here are some reviews, blog commentaries and videos of the instrument. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FH-UcAQlHWg http://www.acousticguitarforum.com/f...d.php?t=355202 http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/t...anner-reissue/ Additional Pictures

Now as far as sound goes, as we know that is a very subjective thing but no contest in the build quality. Frank.
