It's hard to believe Gibson ever made the Corvus! 1984

ack that just....what were they thinking

-Mike

I guess they were competing with Guild's quot;Gumbyquot; guitar

I kinda like it..

I remember seeing those things in Circus magazine ads back in the early-mid 80's..... when i was 13 i thought they were cool.....

TGWIF will smack me, but I think the Moderne is pretty fugly too.

Oh, look! It's got the same crappy tremolo as the '85 metal Vs amp; Explorers!

Did they actually think that Ovation's electric line was something with which to compete? That's dreadful, just an awful looking guitar. The EMG's make it worse and the tremolo is the icing on the turd cake...lol

I remember those ads. It seems like they had 3 fugly guitars in the ad. Like a Sonex, Corvus, and something else, like a Marauder or Futura or something.

Throwin' down with the Breadwinner!

they are gonna come out with custom shop historic versions of these priced at $5k and they will sell a million.

man, i really want one of those! the guy from cursive uses one.. it's so unusual and wacky

I love it! I don't recall the Corvus being made exceptionally well, but if the price stays low, it looks like a unique metal guitar that could be a steal! The Moderne is bad*ss, unfortunately those things are very difficult to come by.

looks like a lobster claw with p/u's

Actually, the Moderne looks pretty cool except for that headstock.
Looks like it was made by L.L. Bean as a canoe accessory!

what does the moderne look like?

Ew looks like someone's puke was shaped like a guitar!
