BUNKER GUITARS
ELECTRIC: PREVIOUS MFG.
All Bunker models were available in Fixed (wings attached) or the optional Snap-On/Quick Change kit that allowed interchangeable wings to be attached to the body. As the catalog pointed out, "This invaluable device permits a performer to have many guitars in one - an advantage loved by the Pros." In addition to Eastern maple and Black Walnut, other Snap-On bodies include Satin Black, Silverflake vinyl, leather bound Blue Denim, Fire (Red and Black swirled) Naugahyde, Earth (Brown with Gold flecks) Naugahyde, and Charcoal (Black with Silver Flecks) Naugahyde.
Optional Body Sets for the guitar models had a new retail price of $85 for Fabric (vinyl), $90 for Wood , and $110 for Denim (leather bound Denim).
