The Gibson USA Corvus Series Futura is now in stock!
The Futura, a through-neck model released as the top-of-the-line model in the Corvus Series
Featuring a distinctive body shape and the rare Ultra Violet finish, it boasts a classic '80s look.
Combining the rich sustain of a through-neck construction with a powerful humbucker sound, this is a rare model that is now hard to find on the market.
Overall, it shows signs of wear appropriate for its age, including scratches, dents, and paint chipping.
The finish has discolored and faded overall from its original color, giving it a reddish-brown hue.
Weather-check-like cracks in the finish are visible throughout, giving it an aged appearance.
Signs of aging, such as rust, tarnish, and discoloration of the plating, are visible on the metal parts.
There is paint peeling at the body end where the wood is visible.
Around the front and rear pickups, there are four screw holes each (eight in total) where escutcheons were likely once attached.
Since the angle adjustment screw for the rear pickup was missing, it has been replaced with a Phillips-head screw.
The tone knob has been replaced.
The strap pins may have been replaced.
The neck shows no noticeable abnormalities and is in good playing condition.
