Serial Number 82611007, Great Condition, In order to respond to the superstrat craze, Gibson introduced new models such as the US-1, the US-2, and the M-III. Though the US-1 was Gibson's first mass-production superstrat, the Victory MV is the true "FIRST" Gibson superstrat. The MV's were rare guitars when they were new. Only 1800 MVX and 200 MV2 were ever minted. They were distributed worldwide. Only the earliest of these exceptional Gibson Victory MV guitars (quantity unknown) were hand made by the 44 veteran luthiers in the historic 225 Parsons St. Kalamazoo factory, using the best methods, and highest quality materials, with reputations of caring about each instrument as a creative piece of art.
