The Story

RD Custom Ebony

For the first time ever, the classic RD Custom from Gibson is available under the Gibson Custom Shop lineup! First released in 1977, the RD shape has been a cult-classic for years, and the Custom version of the RD sees it dressed up for the gala with a gloss ebony finish, an ebony fretboard with block inlays and a multi-ply top binding. The RD Custom has 490R and 498T humbuckers to provide a modern tone with tons of high gain capabilities. Class it up and play a different shape than most other Gibsons - pick up your RD Custom at The Music Zoo today!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Hang Tags and Paperwork
