rdnzl Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Got this one a few days back, and just now got time to post it. It's a Gibson 1942 Banner J-45 Reissue 2013 Vintage Sunburst "1 of 20". It has a fullness that's hard to describe. Plays like butter, too. Here are some pics of it.
zombywoof Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 That is one of the Kalamazoo Gals project guitars JT loaned to Gibson. Nice Score!
duluthdan Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 This is like the 2nd one in a s many weeks - nice guitar, where in the world did you find it?
jt Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 That is one of the Kalamazoo Gals project guitars JT loaned to Gibson. Nice Score! Yep, a replica of a 1942 J-45 (now owned by a friend in Europe) that I loaned to Gibson. A beautiful thing. Congratulations. The original graces the cover of my book, Klamazoo Gals:
blindboygrunt Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Now THATS. A nice guitar We'd all love to hear it ya know
BluesKing777 Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Looks great! Can someone remind us of the differences between that guitar and my J45 (Standard)? BluesKing777.
Lars68 Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 I saw the all mahogany LG-1, from the same Banner reissue project, on sale in a music store in Stockholm last week for about $1500. I thought about it a little too long, and the next time I checked it was gone... Lars
Red 333 Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Hope you get a lot of enjoyment from it, and for a long time. Red 333
jt Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 And to top it off, 19 fretts! Of course, because the guitar that I sent Gibson to "duplicate" had but 19 frets.
fp Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Of course, because the guitar that I sent Gibson to "duplicate" had but 19 frets. Yes but the SJ's they made of this run had 20 frets ! I used to own one of those as well.
Dave F Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Yes but the SJ's they made of this run had 20 frets ! I used to own one of those as well. They have made some SJ's with 19 frets.
fp Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 So they make that SJ with 19 frets but with the larger pickguard that normally is seen on 20 fret models. Gibson loves to mix it up !
jt Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Yes but the SJ's they made of this run had 20 frets ! I used to own one of those as well. An excellent point. Here's the "replica" on the left and my original on the right:
