Banker V 2020 Aged Yellow

Denver Guitar Exchange is proud to be an authorized dealer for Banker Guitars. The ’58 Gibson Flying V is one of the rarest of iconic vintage guitars. Despite the fact there are less than a dozen in existence, the originals sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars which puts it well out of reach for the average musician. Banker Guitars expertly handcrafts instruments with the look, feel, and sound of highly sought after and revered vintage guitars. There is no high tech secret sauce here; Matt Hughes builds each instrument 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. The Banker guitar experience is something truly unique. They truly have accomplished making a brand new, “old guitar.”
