    Gibson Corvus III ... Very unusual and cool

    Very Cool in the single coil bolt on neck version..
    Typical of the 80's Gibson experiments

    Dead easy to mock this up from existing kits ... take an LP body, a Strat neck and a jigsaw ... and voila!

    Wait a minute ... that sounds like Rock and/or Roll!

    SG-1 ... "Little Miss" finished in Flamenco Cherry Wudtone
    TL-1A ... "Slugger" finished in Antique White Nitro
    EX-1 ... "Metal God" finished in nickel-plate (work in progress)
    ST-1A ... "Scrapper" stained and finished in linseed oil ... and with the "secret weapon"
    GR-1SF ... "Rocker-billy" (just arrived, work in progress)

    looks like a Bargey headstock...

    not that keen on the shape, but after seeing what some guys can do to a stock kit, then this is entirely possible
