The Custom Shop Historic Reissue 1942 Banner Southern Jumbo gives the mojo of a vintage Gibson, with age-correct materials and construction. Beginning in the early 1940s, Gibson's "Only a Gibson is Good Enough" slogan moved from the ad copy of Gibson's marketers, to the mouths of its artist endorsers, on to the pages of Gibson's catalogs, and, by 1942, it came to rest on the golden banners appearing on the headstocks of Gibson's World War II guitars. There it would reside for four short years, to disappear sometime in 1945, not again to be seen until the Gibson Company produced reissues in the 1990s of the guitars that many players and collectors contend represent Gibson's zenith.
The particular SJ is perfectly tonally balanced, pairing that with the rosewood body what you get is a guitar that not only has that sweet vintage tone, but projects and cuts through like a good dreadnought should.
This is a BRAND NEW guitar. If you have any questions feel free to give us a call or stop by anytime!
