Immerse yourself in the timeless charm of the Gibson Acoustic 1942 Banner Southern Jumbo 'Light Aged Vintage Sunburst' Acoustic Guitar. Drawing inspiration from the rare rosewood-equipped Southern Jumbos of yesteryears, this exceptional instrument is meticulously aged to capture the essence of a true vintage classic. Gibson Acoustic's revolutionary thermal aging process infuses this guitar's red Adirondack spruce top with a dry, resonant, and responsive voice that replicates the sound of a decades-old masterpiece. The addition of rosewood back and sides transforms the traditional Southern Jumbo sound, delivering lush symphonic tones with rich highs, resonant lows, and mellifluous midrange notes.
Crafted to perfection in Bozeman, Montana, the 1942 Banner Southern Jumbo features a period-correct mahogany neck with a comfortable "Historic" profile, complemented by a sleek rosewood fingerboard. The Murphy Lab-style Light Aged finish and Vintage Sunburst color add a touch of elegance to this already exceptional instrument. Known as the J-45's sophisticated sibling, the Southern Jumbo is revered for its spruce top and mahogany body, with the rare addition of rosewood back and sides in early 1940s models. This recreation of a rare classic is a testament to Gibson's legacy of exceptional craftsmanship, producing a dry, crisp tone with an expansive sound that blends harmoniously with vocals.
