{"product_id":"1943-banner-gibson-j-45-adirondack-spruce","title":"1943 Banner Gibson J-45","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is one of the early wartime batches of banner J-45s FON 2109-22, featuring a rare multi-ply top purfling found only on the earliest J-45 batches, a two-piece Adirondack spruce top, a firestripe pickguard, and a thick mahogany neck constructed without a truss rod. These specs are widely regarded as the most collectible and desirable among the spruce top\/mahogany back and sides banner J-45s. This example is by far the lightest in weight, loudest in volume, and has the quickest attack out of our current impressive banner J-45 inventory. It sports a beautifully patinaed, sunken-in original nitrocellulose finish with striking checking throughout. Fresh off a recent professional neck reset and a few expertly repaired, sealed, and cleated cracks, it is in excellent structural condition. It plays wonderfully and delivers as much sheer horsepower as some of the finest pre-war and wartime Martin D-18s we have ever encountered, while retaining the woody fundamental tone desired from an old Gibson flattop. This is an incredible-sounding piece of guitar history from the greatest story ever told: the banner Gibson story of the Kalamazoo Gals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mojo City Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42816704839765,"sku":null,"price":20000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/1675\/8613\/files\/84C406E1-A6AD-4A72-8777-A9AA79355269.jpg?v=1785677694","url":"https:\/\/mojocityguitars.com\/products\/1943-banner-gibson-j-45-adirondack-spruce","provider":"Mojo City Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
