Introducing the Epiphone 1942 Banner J-45™: The Legendary Original Workhorse Reborn

In a prestigious collaboration with Gibson™ Custom, Epiphone is thrilled to unveil the Epiphone 1942 Banner J-45™. This remarkable acoustic guitar faithfully replicates the storied 1942 "Workhorse" model, renowned for its robust performance and classic design. It features a thermally aged solid red spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides, culminating in a rich, resonant tone. The guitar's neck is crafted from a single piece of mahogany, shaped into a traditional V-profile and topped with a laurel fretboard adorned with elegant mother-of-pearl dot inlays.

The headstock proudly displays the iconic Gibson "open book" profile, enhanced by the "Inspired by Gibson Custom" double diamond logo on the back and a matching banner on the front. Equipped for both studio sessions and live performances, the guitar includes a state-of-the-art L.R. Baggs™ VTC preamp and under-saddle piezo pickup system. Each Epiphone 1942 Banner J-45™ comes with a durable hardshell case, branded with the Inspired by Gibson Custom logo, ensuring it arrives in style and stays protected.
