During WWII, Gibson used whatever materials were handy. Banner peghead inlay mfg. 1942-45, disc. 1946. A few early models are found with rosewood back/sides. In 1946, the banner inlay on the peghead was discontinued. In 1949, upper belly bridge replaced original part/design. In 1954, Natural finish became an option. In 1955, redesigned pickguard replaced original part/design. In 1956, the SJ in Natural finish was renamed the Country-Western Jumbo. In 1960, this new designation was again renamed the SJN (See SJN listing below). In mid to late 1962, adjustable saddle replaced original part/design; redesigned body/pickguard replaced previous part/design. In 1969, standard style bridge replaced previous part/design. In 1970, non-adjustable saddle replaced previous part/design. In 1974, four-stripe body/two-stripe neck binding replaced original part/design.
