can anyone tell me which gibson this is? i like the sound and look of it, from the rockpalast gig in 1982 which ive got on dvd. was this guitar popular? are there any around now? thanks.

Gibson and Epiphone released their versions of Strats back in the 70/80s. I think the Epi one had the Explorer type headstock. Model number was something like S-310

IT is hard to see that guitar, but if it is a Gibson it is a Victory series.....
HEre is one....
