Banker 1959 Flying V Korina Custom 2021 | Reverb (2024)

Banker Guitars (Matt Hughes) expertly handcrafts instruments with the look, feel, and sound of highly sought after and revered vintage guitars. Built by hand in a small shop in northern Georgia using the same construction techniques as those utilized during the golden era of guitar building. He uses old growth tonewoods and top-notch materials that are faithful reproductions of the originals and fabricates by hand whatever parts he needs that are not available. Banker Guitars is licensed by Gibsonto make faithful reproductions, but his imaginative take on some of the classic designs can't be beat!
