Gibson Victory MVX | Candy Apple Red

Step back into the early 1980s with one of Gibson’s boldest creations — the Victory MVX (MV-10). Designed in Kalamazoo by Gibson’s legendary R&D team with electronics by Tim Shaw, the MVX was Gibson’s answer to the super-versatile guitars of the era. With its sculpted maple body, sleek bound ebony fingerboard, and ten distinct “multi-voice” tones, this model pushed Gibson into new sonic territory while still keeping that unmistakable Gibson feel.

Produced only between 1981 and 1984, the MVX is a true rarity. You don’t see these come up often, and when you do, they’re a must-have for collectors chasing unique Norlin-era designs or guitarists looking for a vintage Gibson that covers an incredible range of sounds. From shimmering single-coil snap to fat humbucker growl, the MVX delivers.

This is more than just a vintage guitar — it’s a piece of Gibson history, built during a period of fearless innovation. If you’re after something rare, versatile, and undeniably cool, the Victory MVX deserves a spot in your collection.
