Man, I've been playing Gibson since 1979 ... and I've never seen a Gibson .. that came anywhere near .. looking like that. So much so, I was looking at it for a while to see if it was a scam. So, take it one of two ways:

1.) Good. JawBreaker is a jackass and I never liked Gibson guitars. Maybe that means it's the guitar for me.
2.) Bad. No serious Gibson guy would ever .. well, probably wouldn't BELIEVE you that was a Gibson, thought you bought a sticker and put it on a K-Mart PRS or something .. or, if you could totally, completely convince him it was a Gibson .. at that point .. he would tell you to get the hell away from him.

For anyone that was interested in the 25.5" scale Epiphone Futura RD, $600 more for a 25.5" scale Gibson might be worth consideration.

3.) I'm a serious Gibson guy that knows the Victory originally debuted in the 80s and rereleased a year or two back. Jawbreaker isn't necessarily a jackass but he could have known that already and maybe he could have offered his opinion without gatekeeping or portraying himself as an arbiter of the brand.

That said, I don't personally get the appeal here either. You can get humbuckers in anything. The Gibson scale length is a massive part of their appeal to me and legacy shapes like the SG, V, and Explorer are simultaneously iconic and refreshingly anti-Strat. The Victory is a superstrat competitor with a Fender scale length...there are companies that do that better at this price.

Unless this body type and headstock really give you wood. Good call on JB44.

Awww .. did I get to it before YOU could be sanctimonious?

So sorry.

I've played on tours that crossed oceans since 1982 and .. I never saw no Gibson look like that.

So, this guy is probably lying to be a gate keeper and arbiter of himself being a superior knowledge and ace expert.

There ain't no damn Gibson look like that.
