The Gibson Corvus was a short-lived series of guitars produced by the Gibson Guitar Corporation in the mid-1980s. It featured a solid body with an offset V-cut at the tail, which led it to be colloquially known as the "can opener" guitar. If the guitar is turned sideways,〔(Gibson's stupid "Norlin era" electric guitars ), Rich Menga.〕 it looks as if it is the shape of a crow in flight. ''Corvus'' is the Latin word for crow. The Corvus was sold in three model variations: *Corvus I - one humbucker pickup, volume, and tone knob. *Corvus II - two humbuckers, volume, and tone knobs. *Corvus III - three single coil pickups, a five-way switch, one volume, and one tone knob. An upscale Corvus with a set rather than bolt-on neck was marketed under the name "Futura" (not to be confused with the Explorer prototype). The Corvus was one of several new models designed to renew interest in Gibson guitars. It was discontinued after two years due to poor sales.〔(TheMoMI.org - The Museum of Musical Instruments - Article Archives )〕 The Corvus is featured in the video games ''Guitar Hero'', ''Guitar Hero II'' and ''Guitar Hero III''. ==Notable Corvus players== *Tim Kasher (Cursive, The Good Life) *Mike Cooley (Drive By Truckers) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gibson Corvus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
