Phelonious Ponk Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 What differentiates this from the Standard or the TV? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duluthdan Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 19 frets, big C neck, sounds really good from here. Is this a MV one- off custmshop build? Is the custom shop process accessible again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P P, this would be a replica of one of several guitars John Thomas (JT) loaned to gibson . the guitar John had was a 1942 J 45 (first year of production) this I believe is the final result .

JC Yes, it's a "replica" one of the four guitars that I sent to Gibson. The original was used on track 9 on the CD companion to my book. You can hear a clip here. Thanks, JC, for flagging this for us and for me. As many know, this is the only way I can learn when the replicas of the Banner Gibsons I sent to Gibson are released.

BluesKing777 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Sounds nice! I looked on Gibson.com and there is nothing about them yet. How is the price? BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I believe there's been two of them for sale on the trading post to date. http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/106909-gibson-j-45-1942-banner-limited-edition-2600-shipped/ http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/104683-1st-of-the-limited-1942-banner-j45/ The thick neck would scare me off unless I could actually play it first to see if I like it. Maybe one of these guys will ship one to me to try out. I doubt if I'll ever see one around these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bram99 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 This is probably the only guitar that I would consider as a replacement to my J45TV. After spending some time on my Banner Mahogany LG-2 (aka 1942 LG-1 replica) I am really really liking those fat necks from the 40s. When I first started playing the banner LG-2, I was concerned about how different the neck felt, but I got used to it in a day and now I find it more comfortable...playing chords is more of a grip with the whole hand rather than squeezing with the thumb, so I find the bigger necks more comfortable and much less fatiguing... Maybe it's because of 10 years or so of only playing classical and flamenco guitars, but I kind of wish I had the thick C neck on all my guitars now....

ParlourMan Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Price remains to be seen, if its significantly higher than a TV it's a bit of a rip off..... seems to be a TV with a fatter neck. No idea why they can get away with ridiculous add ons for something like a small change in neck specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherofpearl Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Pm pretty sure these are around 3000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to sound like they must owe JT some money and are trying to avoid him. My old boss would get the 'evasives' as I call it, when there was money owed or holidays coming up.... It is a bit of a shame, JT, after all your hard work, and I hope the situation gets fixed soon. BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No money owed! I volunteered my services as a tribute to the Kalamazoo Gals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even stranger then - you have done nothing but promote the big G! Well, it certainly is a strange situation to some of us forum readers and I am sure an explanation will come out sooner or later.
