Gibson RD Artist, 1978 in an uncommon 3-tone Sunburst finish. The RD is one of the experimental Gibson guitar models from Gibson in the Norlin era. Early RD models were 24-fret, this appears to be a model with 22 frets. Frets in good condition and very playable. Nice dark unbound ebony fingerboard with the usual block-inlays as fret markers. The guitar sports a Moog electric unit with a compressor and expander in good working order. Guitar has been used and has some marks to the body but is generally in pretty good nick. Comes with case.
