I’m pleased to see it has a tunomatic type bridge not the awful bit of wood with fret wire slotted in that early Hofners had. I had a Club 40 as must first ‘decent’ guitar.
I think @Dad3353 is about right on value. When I was looking for a quality acoustic last year I was offered a similar guitar but well worn for £1750. Hopefully if yours is mint you should make at least that.
I owned a Washburn Travel guitar for a while, but I did find it lacking in tone. I have travelled with my Yiari parlour guitar by plane, it fits the overhead. I don’t think a collapsible would appeal to me. Sorry.
Your reactions are similar to mine, definitely a meh guitar and not one to rush out and buy, it’s relatively expensive. The Victory Bass had a brief moment of popularity but I can’t remember seeing anyone playing the original guitar version.
Gibson have introduced a new version of the Victory (does anyone remember it from the 80’s?) It’s not so much a reintroduction but a new guitar loosely based on the shape and using the name.
With a price tag of around £2k will they catch on or is it another expensive Gibson mistake?
