Luthiers at Gibson's Acoustic craftory in Bozeman, Montana, applied Murphy Lab Light Aging to five classic models including the 1933 L-00, 1942 Banner J-45, 1942 Banner Southern Jumbo, 1960 Hummingbird, and 1957 SJ-200. With thermally aged tonewood tops and lightly aged hardware, these beautifully simulate decades of light play-wear, giving them the unique character, vibe, and feel of vintage originals.
