2024 Gibson Custom Banner 1942 Southern Jumbo Reissue | Preowned

The Gibson Custom 1942 Banner Southern Jumbo Reissue faithfully recreates one of the most revered acoustic guitars of Gibson's Golden Era, capturing the look, feel, and tone that made the original wartime Southern Jumbo a legend. Built with a thermally aged Adirondack red spruce top, solid rosewood back and sides, and traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing with hide glue construction, this Custom Shop reissue delivers exceptional warmth, clarity, and dynamic response with a remarkably open, vintage-inspired voice. A comfortable C-shaped mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, and classic 1.77" nut width provide an effortless playing experience, while period-correct details such as the "Only a Gibson Is Good Enough" banner headstock, open-slot bridge, and Vintage Sunburst VOS finish complete its historically accurate aesthetic. Handcrafted in Gibson's Custom Shop, the 1942 Banner Southern Jumbo Reissue is an inspiring instrument that honors one of the most iconic acoustics ever produced.
