Saw Mastodon and LoG a few weeks back and Brent Hinds was playing one of these.
A carved top SG crossed with a LP Custom and a V headstock. Not gonna lie, I dig it. Finally found the builder. They are NOT cheap by any means and I’ll probably never own anything from them but they make some cool Gibson style stuff.

Continuing the ATW theme too. Ben has a Banker V he uses a lot and I think Tim Sult from Clutch rocks one too. They look super sweet though.

I saw Tim had one of their SGs. Didn’t know Ben was on board either but that’s awesome too! I guess they’re also Gibson approved to use their shapes and such? So that probably contributes to the cost.

Yeah I actually learned about them a while ago on the Gibson Facebook page, they announced that Banker would be an authorized partner. So it's all authorized.
Their prices are high but not far from Gibson Custom Shop prices. It's cool that you can customize the models and mix and match designs like the SG with the V headstock and carved top etc.
I'd like to see one in person/play one. They look awesome for sure.

I actually dig it! Kinda like the crazy V headstock SG Gibson did for Billy Gibbons.
