Gibson Victory Electric Guitar, Figured Top, Iguana Burst

A cult classic incarnate, the Gibson Victory Figured Top is a dynamic blast from the past. Fitted for exciting playing and tonality, this deep cut from Gibson's catalog comes back to life for the players of today.

Created in response to player demand, the new Gibson Victory is an '80s favorite revived and recontextualized for the modern era. This latest version of the Victory comes imbued with the DNA of its predecessors with some tweaks and enhancements to suit players. The Victory Figured Top comes built in a double-cutaway shape of mahogany. Its top is constituted of AA figured maple that ties the body together and gives it a particular pop. This body is expanded upon with a mahogany neck cut in a SlimTaper profile. Topping off the neck is an Explorer headstock bearing Grover Mini Rotomatic tuning machines that assist in quick string changes and solid intonation.

An ebony fingerboard lands on this model with twenty-four Medium Jumbo frets. Acrylic Dot fret inlays align to one side for an intriguing visual element, reminiscent of attention-demanding '80s aesthetics. The fingerboard's Graph Tech nut lands at the opposite end of a 25.5" scale length to a Tune-O-Matic bridge. Between these two elements, the playing experience across this Victory is fluid and sturdy for a streamlined feel fitted for dynamic musicality. Additionally, an aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece assists in intonation while single-ply fingerboard binding accents the dark ebony for a delightful visual combination.

The excitement of the '80s comes back in full force with a pick of dynamic electronics. Two 80s Tribute Humbucker pickups are loaded into this Victory to summon bold humbucking tones. With these two humbuckers, players can dial into retro tonality that spans a grand spectrum with the addition of push/pull master volume and tone controls. This coil-splitting integration opens the field for players to experiment and explore with exciting Gibson playability. Additionally, an inner/outer coil selection function available via the push/pull controls widens the amplified field even further as the ability to pick out sounds with even closer control comes to fruition. Lastly, this '80s icon travels in style with an included Gibson hardshell case.

Never one to count out, the Gibson Victory Figured Top is crafted for expression and playability on a new scale. Meeting '80s excitement with modern functions, this entry from Gibson is indeed, victorious.
