This poor ugly thing was hanging in Matt's studio of ill-repute. It had been hobbled with a B-Bender which is entirely too much technology for my game.
With the professional players going through Banker lately, it has been handled by some almost household names- Markus King toured with it, and Brent Mattson of Mastidon- who detests all musical things that are regurgitation of prior things- recorded some tracks for their latest album with the B bender on this guitar. That doesn't make it cool- that just makes it extra cool. I had been disparaging the B Bender for some time- he finally removed it. It has some honest wear, and was shop-aged.
This was the first Korina guitar Matt built- it is SN 36- my second Banker- and is not particularly light weight like his latest stuff is. But is is a tone wood extraordinaire. Just...just...bitchin.
The neck is birdseye maple. The plastic button tuners are just another part of the eye for detail he has- the pick-guard looks like Bakelite. It might be depleted plutonium.
