Gibson Custom Shop 1942 Banner Southern Jumbo Solid Thermally Aged Spruce / Rosewood Dreadnought Vintage Sunburst - CSRSSJ42VS
The Gibson Custom Shop 1942 Banner Southern Jumbo offers a faithful reissue of one of Gibson’s most iconic acoustics. Built with a thermally aged Adirondack red spruce top and rosewood back and sides, this round-shoulder dreadnought delivers a warm, clear and balanced tone with vintage character. The mahogany neck with a comfortable C-shaped profile and rosewood fingerboard makes for a responsive and smooth playing experience. Finished in VOS nitrocellulose and adorned with the historic “Only a Gibson is Good Enough” headstock banner, this is a soulful, historically accurate instrument crafted for players and collectors alike.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this Southern Jumbo reissue is a beautifully resonant nod to Gibson’s golden-era acoustic craftsmanship.
