An extremely clean, collector grade condition piece, this rare version features a figured one-piece mahogany top, a one-piece mahogany back, and a solid mahogany neck without a truss rod. FON 2314-40. It delivers crisp power, rich resonance, and effortless playability across the fretboard. The original finish exhibits very nice checking throughout with no structural excuses to report. Fresh from a neck reset, this guitar remains all-original, exceptionally well cared for, and ready for another lifetime of music. This example is top of the heap for HogTop Banner J-45 lovers out there. An incredible-sounding piece of guitar history from the greatest story ever told, the banner Gibson story of the Kalamazoo Gals.
