Up for sale is an absolutely incredible 1944 Gibson Banner Southern Jumbo in its original sunburst finish. This era of Gibson flat tops is regarded as one of the absolute best with the Southern Jumbo being the pinnacle in our humble opinion. This particular example features a massive unbound neck that measures: 1.07 @ 1st and 1.13 @ 12th, nut width is precisely 1 51/64, 45.7mm, 1.80in. There are no top, back or side cracks but there is a fair amount of scattered finish checking surrounding the body and neck. The guitar appears to have had a neck reset in its life and the action is very nice and playable. This instrument is in great condition for its age and is a true collector grade SJ Banner.

Pro Setup in house and ships with what appears to be its original hard case

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:

We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.   

We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
