Rambler Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 You could probably get them to build you an L-OO Legend or TV and paint it black. Those Ren L-OO Archetypes show up from time to time. I've seen two on the market in the last 18 months. Oh, I know, but that's beyond my means. But beyond the money/value, quotient, it rankles my inner history buff.

tvguit Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 +1 for the Nick Lucas. The L-00 is great but the extra depth on the Nick changes the game big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelsegui Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 If all goes according to plan, there will be a maple J-45 next year (and 3 other accurate "Banner" reissues). YES!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotTheSilver Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 If all goes according to plan, there will be a maple J-45 next year (and 3 other accurate "Banner" reissues). John, if you are able to provide any further detail, I would greatly appreciate it. When you say "accurate" reissues, are you talking on the level of the Legend series with full hide glue construction, or along the lines of the TV series to keep the price reasonable for "mere mortals"? Also, can you say what each of the models will be? A banner SJ reissue would be very interesting! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanCarlosVejar Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Thanks for the info, JT. Sounds interesting! I believe one of the guitars that John Thomas is talking about is this one : http://vintagelicksguitars.com/1944-gibson-j45-maple-banner/ JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I believe one of the guitars that John Thomas is talking about is this one : http://vintagelicksguitars.com/1944-gibson-j45-maple-banner/ I conducted 2 recording sessions for the Banner Gibson CD and had a 1944 maple J-45 at each. The guitar we used in the first session is in Bozeman. This is the guitar from the second session. It's probably my favorite Banner maple J-45 of all time. An incredible guitar.
