The Gibson Corvus was a short-lived series of solid body electric 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. If the guitar is turned sideways, it supposedly looks as if it is the shape of a crow in flight. Corvus is the Latin word for crow. The guitar appeared in Gibson's 1982 American Series catalog as "an instrument with a look as daring as it sounds". The Corvus was sold in three model variations:

  • The Gibson Corvus was a short-lived series of solid body electric 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. If the guitar is turned sideways, it supposedly looks as if it is the shape of a crow in flight. Corvus is the Latin word for crow. The guitar appeared in Gibson's 1982 American Series catalog as "an instrument with a look as daring as it sounds". The Corvus was poorly received, and remained in production for only two years. The guitar would later be considered somewhat of a "cult" guitar, appearing in the Guitar Hero video game series. The Corvus was sold in three model variations: * Corvus I - one Alnico V humbucker pick-up, volume, and tone knob. * Corvus II - two Alnico V humbuckers, volume, and tone knobs. * Corvus III - three single-coil pick-ups, 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 designed to renew interest in Gibson guitars. 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 and in the bar band scene of the movie The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai. (en)
