Gibson 1942 Banner Southern Jumbo Vintage Sunburst Light Aged Murphy Lab

The King of the Flat-tops, with the vintage vibe and feel from the era that gave birth to some of the most prized Gibson Acoustic instruments. The Murphy Lab Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of light play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.

The Custom Shop Historic Reissue 1942 Banner Southern Jumbo features the vibe of a vintage Gibson Acoustic. The thermally aged Adirondack Red Spruce top and Rosewood back and sides have outstanding tonal response and superior playability. At home playing first position chords or picking lead blues licks, the Southern Jumbo is a versatile instrument. Proudly displaying the "Only a Gibson is Good Enough" banner on the headstock, this custom instrument also includes an open slot bridge, a bone saddle and nut, and the classic 1.77" nut width.

Key Features

• Thermally Aged Tonal Woods - The Adirondack Red Spruce Top and Rosewood back and sides gives outstanding tonal response and superior playability and provides powerful resonance and a quicker strumming response. Roasted woods have an expansive EQ range and full sustain. They’re even louder and project more than their non-aged equivalents across the frequency spectrum, but especially in bass and treble.
• Traditional Hand-scalloped X-bracing - Makes for a much more resonant guitar. The scalloped bracing helps the vibration from the strings resonate through all the woods giving a luxury sound to the guitar.
