About This Listing

A beautiful recreation of one of the most renowned acoustic instruments ever made! The allure and legend of the Gibson J-45 TM lives on in the new Murphy Lab 1942 Banner. Inspired by the holy grail of vintage acoustic instruments, luthiers in Montana meticulously crafted a J-45 just like the most popular and celebrated version in structure and components. The new 1942 Banner J-45 includes a Thermally Aged Adirondack red spruce top hand-sprayed with a historic-style burst, hot hide glue top bracing for better tonal response, and an aged bone nut and saddle. It features Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab.

The Murphy Lab Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of light play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.
