Summary

Body: Maple

Neck: Maple neck with a slim taper profile, 1 11/16” wide nut, rosewood fretboard, 12” radius, and dot inlays

Cosmetic Condition: The top of this Corvus is holding up well, with just a handful of scratches as well as some developing checking lines. The back and sides display a good amount of buckle rash, dings and scratches, as well as few patches of finish chipping along the bass side waist edge. The neck and headstock are smooth and clean, except for a few small dings along the top side edges of the headstock. This curvy Corvus is calling your name!

Playability: The strings are nice and low, play great, and ring out clearly across the board.

Was that Gibson's effort to copy the Ovation electric designs? Proof positive that the recent Gibson design stumbles are not isolated to the current ownership.

it's supposed to look like a bird in flight if you look at the guitar when it's horizontal....corvus is Latin for crow.

One of those things that no one ever sees until someone points it out.
