Gibson Voodoo V Electric Guitar (with Case)

Gibson USA's new Voodoo V put a mojo sound and a juju look on a favorite Gibson 1958 solidbody model. The Voodoo-V has a lighter swamp Ash body, Mahogany neck, Ebony fingerboard with red pearl Voodoo skull at the 5th fret, black chrome hardware, and Black Magic pickups.

Red and black pickup bobbins, a red border around a black truss rod, and red-and-black snakeskin-grain Python case complement the Juju finish. "The Voodoo-V is very light and a little more open, I can already feel it," says Scorpions guitarist Rudolph Schenker. "I think it will open up even more as time goes on."
