Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech. In Excellent condition with minimal wear including light factory aging and minor signs of handling and use. This is such a cool take on the classic Flying V design. Nice weight at 6 pounds. We've had a number of used Banker guitars come through the shop and they have all displayed great build quality and performance. This V-Bird is spot on. See below for more details and specifications.
FROM BANKER:
Everything that we create is done using the methods employed during the advent of the electric guitar, completely with hand tools and power tools. All of our necks are carved by hand, with a rasp and spokeshave. We select the finest tone woods available, from rare, old growth sinker Belizean Mahogany to fine grade American Swamp Ash.
Our obsession with tone is only bested by our obsession with classic design and looks. We are inspired by a number of things: old muscle cars, classic architecture, the natural beauty of Mother Nature, and Rock n’ Roll. We do not intend to reinvent the wheel or advance innovation, the best guitars you will ever play already exist. Our goal is simply to capture the magic of those great guitars, while imparting our own artistic vision and design to create an affordable instrument that will make any player proud.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
