Bunker Guitars - Media Release

Jimmy Hendrix before he was famous!!

In the sixty's when the Dave Bunker show started performing we played lot's of military clubs in the pacific northwest. One of the great groups we often followed or vice-versa, was a young man who not only was an excellent guitarist but a dynamic performer. Jimmy would actually do a complete flip off of a stage, and not miss a link on his guitar. The Wilkinson girls who were my band for all of the Las Vegas years and were amazed and influenced by Jimmy's talent.

I only wish I'd built guitars like this back then, I think Jimmy would have loved them. God bless him for his wonderful talent wherever he now resides.
This beautiful koa archtop was built for Dave private collection.
Our 2k2 archtop with our 25.5 inch scale and Magnum top load bridge is the ultimate in ound.
Dynamic Jazz archtop using our Wishbone bridge and Tension Free neck design. Tone and originality at it's best.
