For sale from Metz Music is this killer Gibson Victory in a cool Dark Walnut Satin finish. This guitar absolutely shreds...and the previous owner has dropped some Matt Pike Dragonaut Lace Sensor pickups in it and they sound fantastic! This guitar is set up and playing its absolute best. It includes the original pickups and the original hardshell Gibson case.
The new Gibson Victory was created in response to player requests for the return of this 80s-era cult favorite. Crafted for limitless self-expression, it carries the DNA of the original versions with enhanced features such as refined body contours, improved weight and balance, and an Explorer headstock. The Victory has a 25.5” scale length, and the mahogany neck has an ebony fretboard with a compound radius for enhanced playability, a SlimTaper profile, and 24 medium jumbo frets. The mahogany body has a Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece and a satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The highly flexible electronics include two 80s Tribute humbucker pickups wired to push/pull master volume and tone controls for coil splitting and inner/outer coil selection when the coils are split, which, along with the three-way pickup selector switch, deliver a wide range of humbucking and single coil tonal options with a minimum number of controls. A Gibson hardshell case is also included.
The upgraded pickups are a combined effort between Lace and Grammy Award Winner Matt Pike, the Dragonauts Humbuckers. The sonic entitlement to a more detailed midrange than what is expected or available from a conventional pickup design was successfully designed into the Dragonauts. A thunderous full double coil tone along with a zero noise split single coil tone that covers Matt Pike's sought after sound and playing style.
