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. Also, if the guitar is turned sideways it looks as if it is the shape of a crow in flight. This is fitting, corvus being the Latin for crow. The Corvus was sold in three model variations: Corvus I - one humbucker pickup, volume, and tone knob.

  • 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. Also, if the guitar is turned sideways it looks as if it is the shape of a crow in flight. This is fitting, corvus being the Latin 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 which was designed to renew interest in Gibson guitars, yet it was discontinued after two years due to poor sales. The Corvus is featured in the video games Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero II and Guitar Hero III.
  • Gibson Corvus oli Gibsonin vuonna 1982 julkaisema kitaramalli. Corvuksen radikaalia muotoilua on useasti kutsuttu "purkinavaajaksi". Muoto oli kuitenkin alunperin suunniteltu muistuttamaan varjokuvaltaan varista, mistä tulee mallin latinankielinen varista tarkoittava nimi corvus. Muotoilu ei miellyttänyt soittajia, ja soittimen taival jäi vain kahden vuoden mittaiseksi. Corvuksia oli kolme erilaista, Corvus I, II, ja III. Ne eivät juuri eronneet toisistaan paitsi mikrofonien osalta: Corvus I:ssä oli yksi humbucker, Corvus II:ssa kaksi humbuckeria ja Corvus III:ssa oli kolme yksikelaista mikrofonia.
  • ギブソン・カーヴァス (Gibson Corvus) はギブソンが1980年代半ばに製造し、短命に終わったエレクトリックギター。テールをV字にカットされたソリッドボディーで、「缶切り」ギターと呼ばれた。またギターを横に構えると飛んでいるカラスのように見える。これは "Corvus" がラテン語でカラスを表すことに合致する。 カーヴァスには以下の三つのバリエーションが存在した。 カーヴァスI - ハムバッカーx1、ボリューム、トーン カーヴァスII - ハムバッカーx2、ボリュームx2、マスタートーン カーヴァスIII - シングルコイルx3、5-wayピックアップセレクタスイッチ、ボリューム、トーン ギブソンに対する興味を取り戻すためにデザインされた数機種のうちの一つだが、売上は芳しくなく2年後には製造終了となった。 カーヴァスはビデオゲームの「ギターヒーロー」、「ギターヒーロー2」、「ギターヒーロー3」に登場する。
