The Most Versatile Sounding Gibson Guitars that "produces a myriad of separate and distinct electric guitar tonalities; those voices that fill all the needs and requirements of the dedicated guitarist"      Produced by Gibson from 1981 to 1984, designed by the Gibson research and development team in Kalamazoo, MI, with the body work by Chuck Burge, and the multi-voice electronics by Tim Shaw. Gibson Victory MVX features numerous new innovations, including the new "top adjust" Tune-O-Matic bridge, and a series of specially designed pickups, in an "unbalanced" configuration; i.e. all six pickups across the range are different, and specifically designed for the role it was assigned.   Features:  Splittable Humbuckers at Neck and Bridge with Super Stack Middle Pickup® 1Volume & 1 Tone  Knob with 5 Way Switch and Coil Splitting Switch Eastern Hardrock Maple Body, Neck and Headstock  Ebony Finger Board with Offset Dot Fret Markers Original Gibson Tailpiece  Original Gibson Bridge  Chrome Gibson Machine Heads with Gibson logo     Included Vintage Gibson Hard Shell Case with Gibson Logo Condition: Great Condition.

Early models were Kalamaoo-built, but by the end of 1981 they were being produced at the Gibson Nashville plant. There were also three Gibson Victory bass models (See Chuck Burge's interview with FlyGuitars on the development of the Gibson Victory bass), and these went on to outlast the guitar versions by several years. The Gibson Victory MV2 and MVX were last listed in Gibson prices list of January 1984, whilst the Gibson Victory Standard and Artist basses remained until 1986.   According to the 1981 pre-owners manuals, they were attempts to add "in-demand" tones, to Gibson's classic sounds. Direct competition for the Fender Telecaster (MV2) and Fender Stratocaster (MV10). As well as the Fender-esque shape, these guitars were fitted with pickups and circuitry that could give single coil tones.
