1983 Gibson Q Series Prototype - SOLD - LEARN MORE

This incredibly unique instrument represents Gibson’s transition from the early 80s Victory Series to the Q Series models of the mid-1980s. It blends a Victory-style body with a Q Series neck and headstock, marking an important evolutionary step in Gibson’s development of performance-driven instruments. It features a unique HSS pickup configuration, a prototype Gibson roller bridge and tremolo system, and a rough-cut pickguard, indicating its early stage of development. The back of the headstock bears a “Gibson Original Prototype” decal, further confirming its pre-production status.

The instrument has light nicks and dings throughout the body and headstock but is an overall clean guitar. It retains its original Gibson prototype roller bridge and tremolo, Gibson-branded Schaller six-in-line tuners, and Dirty Fingers™ humbucker™ in the bridge position, all of which contribute to its distinct look and tonal character. It ships in its original black Gibson rectangle case.

Availability Date: The purchased instrument will be available for pickup at the Gibson Garage in Nashville or shipment to an address in the US starting February 19, 2025.
