Gibson / J45 Banner / 1942 / Guitar For Sale

The Banner headstock with "Only a Gibson is Good Enough" is a hallmark of this model, paired with a solid mahogany neck and neck block—features that changed in subsequent production years. The most notable feature being the classic firestripe pickguard which was only used in early to 1942. This guitar has experienced some wear over its long life, including a neck reset and repairs to multiple cracks on the top, sides, and back. The most recent repair appears to be the large crack on the back. These restorations were professionally executed, preserving the instrument’s structural integrity and ensuring excellent playability and intonation. A respray was also performed decades ago, now barely detectable under a blacklight. Sonically, this J45 captures the essence of vintage Gibson acoustics. Its low end is powerful yet refined, complemented by clear mids and sweet highs that are all packaged in Gibson's classic compression and projection. The scalloped X-bracing enhances its responsiveness, making it equally suited for dynamic fingerpicking or bold, percussive strumming. Delivered in a non-original hardshell case and accompanied by a TFOA passport, this 1942 Gibson J45 Banner offers a rare glimpse into the craftsmanship and tonal character of Gibson's pre-war golden era. A true gem for collectors and players alike.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
