The Story

1981 Victory MVX Cherry Sunburst

An original model of the recently re-released Gibson Victory, this is a Victory MVX in Cherry Sunburst built in 1981. With a maple body and flame maple neck, this was Gibson going for the double-cutaway 'shred' market of the era! The guitar has an HSH pickup configuration, a very nice flame maple neck and ebony fretboard. The headstock is stamped "Second" from the factory, but with wear accumulated over time it's hard to say what the original blemish was. There's worming on the back of the body, fading in the stain of the maple neck and some dings as well. It plays nicely and includes a non-original gigbag!

Includes: Leather Gigbag
