Made from premium grade solid wood, the <strong>GIBSON Acoustic Custom Shop Historic Collection 1942 Banner Southern Jumbo (CSRSSJ42VS)</strong> is a splendid replica of the original Southern Jumbo (luxurious evolution of the J-45 in a rare version with Rosewood back and sides).

Thanks in particular to its table and its bracing made of “Thermally Aged” roasted essences, this beauty provides real emotions, the feeling of playing on an authentic vintage instrument which has improved over the decades.

The “Thermally Aged” process subjects the essences to accelerated drying thanks to exposure to high temperature. It gives them stability and better resonance.

Dreadnought Round Shoulder acoustic folk guitar with short scale (24.75"), roasted Adirondack Spruce top, Adirondack Spruce bracing, Rosewood back/sides, Rosewood fingerboard.

<strong>Maintenance</strong>

The nitrocellulose varnish, as on vintage Gibsons, plays a major role in the 'breathing' of the instrument thanks to its porous nature (vibrations are not muffled by the lacquer). This varnish is on the other hand sensitive to contact with the plastics and foams of certain stands (we recommend the Hercules brand), as well as to certain cleaning products that are too detergent.
