Very helpful thank you!

Thanks so much for the feedback it is very helpful and appreciated.

Yes it has an adjustable bridge I replaced the saddle with adjustable bone not fixed. I actually love the neck on my 67 (My first Gibson ever I was partial to Martins) I would not mind a larger neck either I have seen the videos where they talk about it the larger profile. The sound is great on my 67 not very loud but great. I wonder how much the hardware in the soundboard is restricting it. This is why I am thinking the Banner 42 or 50’s might sound even better?

Greetings, I have a 1967 J45 I love the guitar. I have also been looking at the 1942 Banner J45 online. There are no stores anywhere near me where I can actually put my hands on one. I have watched many Youtube videos and they of course sound great. I am curious just how different the Tone, the sound and projection might be from my 1967? I am expecting the playability to be similar? If anyone has had the chance to play both a vintage 60's J45 and one of these new Banner J45's and could give me your opinions on the differences in the sound I would appreciate your input. Would also be interested in feedback on the 50's J45 Reissue for the same reasons as above. Thank you!
