Description
Here's the Gibson Victory in Dark Walnut Satin. This is a modern revival of an under-the-radar '80s model that's built for players chasing versatility, speed, and a little something different. With a sleek mahogany body, 24 frets, and coil-splitting options galore, the Victory is perfect for intermediate to advanced players who want the tonal range of a studio-ready workhorse with the attitude and edge of a stage guitar. If you've been looking for a non-traditional Gibson that still delivers the punch and quality you expect, this one fills the gap.
The heart of the Victory is its dual '80s Tribute humbuckers, paired with push/pull controls that offer both coil-splitting and inner/outer coil selection. This gives you a surprising range of voices-from modern cleans to biting mid-gain tones to aggressive lead sounds, with plenty of clarity across the board. The 25.5" scale length, mahogany body and neck, and compound-radius ebony board all work together to give it a tight, responsive feel that's as comfortable in a metal set as it is in a blues gig.
Playability is a strong suit here. The SlimTaper neck profile and extended fret access make fast runs and complex chords easy to navigate. Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners, a Graph Tech nut, and a Tune-o-matic bridge keep everything locked in and ready for the long haul. We really like how this one blends vintage intent with modern execution-it feels built for the guitarist who wants their rig to go far without complicating things.
