The new model pairs a Floyd Rose locking system with 80s Tribute humbuckers and a compound radius ebony fretboard.
Since Gibson brought back the Victory series, players have been asking for one thing: a Floyd Rose. The Victory Floyd Rose delivers just that, building on the Victory Figured Top platform with a locking vibrato system and the hardware to back it up.

The Floyd Rose tailpiece and locking nut handle tuning stability, an important detail when you’re using a whammy bar. Built around a set mahogany neck, the guitar comes at a 25.5″ scale length – longer than Gibson’s typical 24.75″, which also makes it well suited to drop tuning. The neck is carved to a SlimTaper profile and pairs with a compound radius ebony fretboard, 24 medium jumbo frets, and enough room at the low end for clean bends without fretting out.
Pickups are uncovered 80s Tribute humbuckers with zebra bobbins, controlled via master volume and tone knobs with push/pull switches for coil split and inner/outer coil select, plus a three-way selector. There’s a fair bit of tonal range to explore from a straightforward control layout – you can go from full humbucking grunt to single-coil clarity without a hassle. The Victory Floyd Rose is available in Deep Ocean Burst, Translucent Ebony Burst and Iguana Burst.
