If you can believe it, Banker Custom Guitars is exactly what it sounds like: custom guitars, made by hand by a former banker. 

Matthew Hughes opened Banker Custom Guitars to the public in 2016, and he’s never looked back. He is the owner, operator, and sole employee of the newly authorized Gibson boutique builder and he spends every day doing what he loves–building guitars the old way, the hard way, by hand in a North Georgia shop he also built by hand.
