The Gibson RD Artist is a cult classic - and this built in 1979 model is a prime example! It's Moog electronics are original and functioning perfectly! On top of the classic Gibson tones that can be coaxed from the Series VI humbuckers, the special electronics also provide a bright mode, treble and bass boosts, compression, and expansion. The offset body and 25.5" scale set neck are solid maple, and an ebony fingerboard adds high end class. The guitar also sports gold hardware, a TP6 tailpiece with tune-o-matic bridge, and the unique headstock inlay. It is in very good playing condition with only light marks and playwear around the body and includes the original hardshell case.
Includes: Original Hardshell Case
