Description

Players describe early Gibsons J-45's as having that fat, chunky sound and this all-mahogany Banner 1943 model is a perfect example of that tone. It satisfies ones craving for that earthy, organic rumble that works beautifully for big open chords. The condition on this one is quite nice and, with the exception of the replaced bridge and a maple bridge plate extension, is original.

Condition: Vintage. Fully inspected and set up by TME staff before it ships or leaves the showroom.

Every instrument is thoroughly checked and set up before shipping fully insured via UPS with tracking to your door. We reuse boxes and materials to cut waste when they meet our protection standard.

Inspect it, play it, and if it isn't right, contact us within 48 hours of delivery to arrange a return or one-time exchange. Returns are subject to a 5% restocking fee, and the buyer covers shipping both ways.
