G-77 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Here is the first Guitar I bought (with my first pay cheque) December 1983 Gibson Corvus 1. They only made them for a couple of years so now quite rare, although I did see one on ebay the other week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Interesting you saw one on ebay, there was a corvus II that sold on a guitar auction a few weeks ago, maybe someone bought that and passed it on. I did briefly think of getting it but it was white and not in as good condition as yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-77 Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 The one the bay at the moment is a Corvus II and is grey. If i had the money I would get it as i always wanted a set of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Ahh - same colour, but I was wrong, the one that went on auction was a corvus 1, like yours (but not as neat). Went for £520 + 24% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bingefeller Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Interesting looking guitar. Maybe Gibson was trying to jump on the small body guitar trend ala Steinberger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it because I couldn't afford an Explorer, I think it was quite a bit cheaper. it has a 24 ¾” scale length & about 3kg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a cool looking guitar, I hadn't seen one before and didn't know the model existed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardMarlowe Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 The Corvus always somehow put me in mind of a cut-down Ovation Breadwinner: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
