Overview

A limited edition with looks and a sound all its own.

The spacey-looking RD Standard electric guitar was named after Gibson's Research and Development team, and designed to keep up with the growing popularity of synthesizers in the late '70s. This rare bird is back, with a double cut mahogany solid body, stop tailpiece, rosewood fingerboard, dot inlays, chrome parts, and the super cool Silverburst finish.

The RD reissue guitar also sports 2 Dirty Fingers humbucker pickups. These Gibson pickups are extreme-output units designed for more of everything. They produce much more clarity and way more volume than a traditional humbucker with an incredibly aggressive, wide response. The Dirty Fingers pickups are wax-potted to eliminate unwanted microphonic feedback. This is a limited run of only 400 RD guitars from Gibson.
