Aftermarket Price History

Used-market sales only. Brand New listings excluded.

The J-45 1942 Banner Reissue is a very specific Gibson proposition, and people who want it usually know why. This is the war-era, banner-headstock, early J-45 story, not merely a nicer Standard. The market rewards guitars that still feel historically persuasive and tonally mature enough to justify the reissue premium.
