Originally released in the early 1980s, the Victory was Gibson’s response to the growing popularity of hair-raising power rock and metal and the rising demand for an axe that could handle the pressures of high-speed, high-gain articulate playing styles. The Gibson Victory delivered in spades and although discontinued by the mid’80s, the Victory has developed its own cult following.
This much-anticipated Gibson reimagining features their famed double-cut super S-styled body but with upgraded body contours for improved comfort, weight and balance. The Victory now features an Explorer headstock for classic Gibson looks and vibe as well as ‘80s Tribute humbuckers in conjunction with a Mahogany body and neck with a Figured Maple top with an Ebony fingerboard for powerful and articulate ‘80s tones. Its compound fingerboard radius and carefully throughout push/pull electronics ensure the Gibson Victory is ready for anything!
Key Features
- Figured Top – Beautiful to look at but also the perfect sonic companion to the mid-range rich Mahogany body and neck. The Maple top perfectly accentuates the top end and articulation for a balanced and powerful tone.
- ’80s Tribute Humbuckers – Hot, articulate, fat and punchy! These pickups have that thick ‘80s tone that chugs and sings and helps push any gainy amp or pedal to the next level of full-throttle harmonic goodness!
- Push Pull – The Victory features push/pull switches on both the master volume for coil-splitting the humbuckers and on the tone control for selecting which coil, (inner or outer) you want to hear when tapped.
- Compound Fingerboard – The compound fingerboard makes any type of playing feel effortless and ergonomic. The flatter radius past the 12th fret is perfect for shredding a thousand notes whereas the more curvy radius towards the nut is ideal for big riffy power chords.
Shred Machine
With its Slim Taper neck profile with compound fingerboard radius in conjunction with its double-cutaway body design with easy access neck carve and ergonomic contours, the Gibson Victory is the perfect choice for technical fast-paced guitar players. Its carefully thought-out wood choices and electronics provide a balanced and versatile electric guitar tone that pushes gain to its limits, accentuates every detail of your playing and stands out in any mix.
Made in the USA
The Gibson Victory is proudly crafted in the USA using the best tonewoods, hardware, electronics and pickups and expertly finished with nitrocellulose lacquer to optimise tone and allow the guitar to breathe and resonate how it should. The Victory comes with a Gibson hardshell case for optimum protection on the road and even when stored away at home.
