This is a 1944 Gibson Southern Jumbo Banner that was returned to Gibson by its owner George Whitley in 1965 to be converted into a 160E model, a bit like the Beatles. We have copied some of his documents as well as some photos and traces of the work done. The neck profile was slightly refined, a P90 at the end of the fingerboard installed with its 2 period knobs and buttons. A double pickguard was installed at that time and the logo redone in the 1965 style. The bridge was reworked and reglued, the top joint stabilized as well as a few cracks on the back. During its life, a neck reset was performed, so it plays wonderfully today. It sounds amazing, it is a Banner after all. It's sturdy, round and very straight at the same time. The P90 works well and adds a truly electric dimension to the instrument. It's not a piezo! To top it all off, it comes in its original hard case. Don't ask me to find another one like it.\"><strong>sold<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"tw-target-text\" class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traduction\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwi7k5P77oGNAxVHRKQEHWDHF7QQ3ewLegQIChAU\" aria-label=\"Texte traduit\u00a0: Yes, that's a name that deserves some explanation.
