An amazing instrument that you've GOT to try! The Mojo and the legend of the Gibson J45 lives on in the new Murphy Lab 1942 Banner J45. Inspired by the holy grail of vintage acoustic instruments, luthiers in Montana meticulously crafted a J45 just like the most popular and celebrated version in structure and components. The new 1942 Banner J45 includes a Thermally Aged Adirondack spruce top hand-sprayed with a historic-style burst, hot hide glue top bracing for better tonal response, and a bone nut and saddle. It features Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of light playwear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.
