Description

This 1945 SJ is an exciting piece of Gibson history from the rare Banner years! It has a great tone that only a vintage Gibson can truly provide. It has previously had a neck reset, and could likely use one in the coming years, but is playable in its current state. There's significant wear around the fingerboard extension and soundhole, and the pickguard is chipping away - for other mods and repairs check our Specs tab. Includes vintage Geib case and modern Gibson HSC.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
