Gibson Futura Ultra Violet Corvus Series SN.81313523 3.19kg 1983 Electric Guitar
Description
A Gibson USA "Corvus Series" "Futura" has arrived!
The "Futura" is a neck-through model that was released as a higher-end model in the Corvus series.
In addition to its distinctive body shape, it features a rare Ultra Violet color, giving it a distinctly 80s look.
Combining rich sustain from the neck-through construction with a powerful humbucker sound, this is a rare model with limited availability today.
There are signs of use commensurate with its age, such as scratches, dents, and paint chipping.
The color has faded and discolored from its original state, giving it a reddish-brown appearance.
There are paint cracks throughout, resembling weather checking, giving it an aged look.
The metal parts show signs of age-related deterioration such as rust, tarnish, and discoloration of the plating.
There is paint chipping at the body end, exposing the wood underneath.
There are four screw holes each (eight in total) around the front and rear pickups, likely where pickup rings were attached.
The rear pickup angle adjustment screw was missing and has been replaced with a Phillips head screw.
The tone knob has been replaced.
The strap pin may have been replaced.
There are no noticeable abnormalities on the neck, and the playing condition is fine.
