Description
What makes this guitar special: Made for a short period in the 1970’s and reissued in brief periods by Gibson in 2007, 2009, and 2011, Gibson RD’s of any era are a rare find. This particular piece is in excellent, near-new condition, and has obviously been case kept and rarely played. The original plastic is still on the pickguard! The RD Standard has the playability of a Les Paul, with the design appointments and resonance of a Firebird or Explorer. This guitar will come professionally setup by our in-house luthier-and will arrive ready to play right out of the case.
Cosmetic condition: Excellent condition-no wear to speak of save for some very light playwear and handling scratches.
Body: Single cutaway body with dual rounded edges and dual horns, along with multi-ply black pickguard, tune-o-matic bridge, and chrome stopbar tailpiece.
Weight: 9lb, 6.3oz
Neck: Rounded medium profile mahogany neck with white side dots and pearloid dot inlays. 1 11/16” nut width, 24 3/4" scale length. Headstock features a black overlay with mother-of-pearl cursive Gibson logo and chrome-sealed Grover tuners, in perfect working condition. Rosewood fingerboard is in outstanding shape, as are the frets, which show no visible wear. Neck is straight and truss rod works as it should.
Electronics: Dual Burstbucker Pro humbuckers (Neck-7.57K ohms, Bridge-7.89K ohms) with 3-way black tipped pickup selector switch and black speed knobs, 2x tone, 1x volume.
Case: Original hard shell case included.
