Vintage 1977 Gibson RD Artist Natural This is a fantastic Vintage 1977 Gibson RD Artist in Natural Finish. This is great guitar we hardly ever see these in this finish. This is one of the early long scale ones. These guitars have the late seventies funky styling and produce killer modern tones. This guitar is constructed from solid wood but I'm not sure if it's maple. It has tons of sustain and heavenly tone. The Moog electronics work well in this guitar. You can get a phase sound and a compressor. This guitar is 100% original including all parts and finish. Great overall guitar and a rare find with the original hardshell case. The guitar is in excelante condition, I would say even mint condition. I bought it from a collector who does not know how to play the guitar so almost not play like new. Here's what Wikipedia has to say about the RD:The Gibson RD series solid body electric guitars were launched in 1977 as a complementary range to Gibsons existing guitars. They were designed to be brighter sounding than the existing models (such as the Gibson Les Paul or Gibson SG) and as such were longer scale (25 1/2' as opposed to the more usual 24 3/4'), maple-bodied, and with state-of-the-art pre-amplified (active) electronics. At the time Gibson were owned by Norlin who also owned Moog Music. The active electronics were designed by Bob Moog, shortly before he left his own company.RD Artist 1977-82 The best known RD, the Artist featured active circuitry with switchable bright mode, compression and expansion
