Finally got my Gibson set up by my tech. It required a fret levell, but the tech says the Fretless wonders will need to be refretted next time . The Original pickups were not that good, even thoguh it would be nice to have them (which unfortunately i do not) for collectibilty, they have been replaced by a Dimarzio Air Norton bridge, a DiMarzio HS-3 middle and an DiMarzio Air Classic neck which will sound MUCH better. The guitar is a Gibson 1981 Victory MVX. Its a solid hard rock maple guitar. Its got H-S-H and the bridge and neck can be split. It has a five way combination switch for numerous tone possibilties. The burst is very pretty. Overall its in very nice shape. There are some few indents on the front , but nothing through to the wood.* On the back there are some buckle scratches in the clearcoat that do not go through and are not a major distraction from the very nice appearnace .
The Guitar sounds really great. It plays excellent . I dropped the action as low as possible, but the way it was made its not able to get quite so low enough for my likeing- Im basically a lead player first and foremost,although the action is NOT high. Its as low as the guitar was supposed to be , that is, I put the Tune o matic at the bottom of its travel. The neck on the Gibson Victory is perfectly straight , but the action is just not as low as my Jackson gets (of course the Jackson is amazing and the strings basically lay down across the frets with no buzzing or fretting out), which is what I prefer, but the action is what most players would consider too low and would probably be raised.Yeah , Its too bad because this guitar overall puts the Jackson to shame, although its maple, which is going to be on the bright side.. 895.00 or Trade for another guitar or amp. I have cash to make any trade equitable.* See Ebay auction description fro further details... Its been put on eBay.
