Experience the timeless sound of this Gibson 1942 Banner Southern Jumbo. A faithful reissue of Gibson’s iconic 1942 Southern Jumbo, this guitar captures the essence of the WWII-era “banner” guitars, featuring a thermally aged Adirondack red spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides for a robust, warm tone with exceptional clarity and projection. The Vintage Sunburst nitrocellulose finish, applied with a thin lacquer to enhance resonance, highlights the spruce’s grain with a classic sunburst pattern, complemented by multi-ply binding and a firestripe pickguard for a period-correct aesthetic. In excellent condition, this guitar has an added strap button on the heel—a practical modification for gigging players—showing minimal signs of use beyond this addition.
The mahogany neck, with a V-shaped profile, offers a 24.75" scale length, a 12" radius rosewood fingerboard, and 19 frets, featuring a banner logo on the headstock and mother-of-pearl dot inlays for a touch of vintage charm. The fixed rosewood bridge, bone nut, and saddle ensure excellent tone transfer and sustain, while open-gear tuners in relic nickel finish add to its authentic ‘40s look. Professionally set up by our expert luthiers at Peach Guitars, it’s ready to perform straight out of its original hardshell case.
