$5,495.00

Introducing the Atkin Mojo City Forty Two LG-42, a remarkable small-body acoustic that captures the exact essence of early wartime craftsmanship. Dressed in a medium aged finish tailored after FON 7080H-8 LG-2 in Mojo City Guitars' private collection, this guitar boasts checking and light wear throughout to mirror the cleanly kept original. The "Mojo City Forty Two" designation honors the historic guitar in Mojo City Guitars’ collection from the first-batch on record to ever feature a banner logo FON 7080H-8 LG-2, serving as a dedicated line built to showcase rare, period-inspired details. At its core, a torrefied Adirondack spruce top paired with a solid rosewood fingerboard and bridge yields incredible resonance, crisp fundamental clarity, and the mature, wide-open projection of an 80-year-old instrument.

True to the earliest 1942 and early 1943 Banner LG-2 runs, the MC42 LG-42 incorporates vintage appointments rarely seen on modern tributes. Key historic details include intricate 5-ply top purfling, a 7-ply soundhole rosette, and distinctive 3-ply back trim, faithful to the unique specs of those first production batches. Compact yet remarkably full-sounding, it delivers focused midrange punch, sweet highs, and dynamic responsiveness across all playing styles. The Atkin Mojo City Forty Two LG-42 offers collectors and players alike a unique opportunity to own a piece of Banner-era history recreated with golden-era character and modern build stability.
