Carl Kammin, one of our Acoustic Guitar Specialists, explains the magic behind this wartime, banner-era J-45. Due to the wide-reaching demands of the war effort, most of the 9,000 handmade guitars produced at the Gibson factory during this period were made by the “Kalamazoo Gals,” a nearly all-female workforce using whatever parts and tonewoods were on-hand and not under military restrictions. This means that virtually every banner Gibson is unique is some way. For instance, this ‘45 J-45 has a slightly different body shape from many others, but still sports the stunning, old-growth Honduran mahogany back and sides, the more desirable spruce top, and the metal truss rod.
