Gibson RD Standard Electric Guitar

An unusual reissue with features that Gibson fans know and love.




The Gibson RD guitars were introduced in 1977 and remained
on the production line for only five years. They were routed through active
electronics. The neck was glued in, in accordance with Gibson tradition, but was
made to a 25.5-inch scale length, and carried a maple fingerboard. Body and neck
were also both made of maple, all elements intended to contribute to a brighter,
snappier tone. It was a clever and well-thought-out piece of guitar design, and
won a few devoted fans, but fewer than 1,500 were sold in its three-year run. In
response to heavy demand from collectors worldwide, Gibson USA has proudly
resurrected this double-cut solidbody. With the same bright sound and innovative
design, the Gibson RD's return is cause for celebration.

The Gibson RD
Standard Reissue is a fantastic reissue that captures the unique vibe of this
unusual electric guitar, but incorporates many of the tried and true features
that Gibson fans have come to know and love. It features a "reversed" Firebird
style solid mahogany body, a set mahogany neck with a rounded '50s shape, a
22-fret rosewood fretboard, and has the traditional 24-3/4" Gibson scale length.


A Gibson Tune-O-Matic bridge provides a firm seating for the strings,
and allows the player to adjust and fine-tune the intonation and string height
in a matter of minutes. It also yields excellent coupling between strings and
body, maximizing resonance, tone, and sustain. A separate "stopbar" tailpiece is
designed to further enhance the connection between the strings and the body.
Grover kidney shaped machine heads deliver precision tuning in a durable housing
that provides maximum protection for the gear and string post. They are die cast
and have a gear ratio of 14:1. A special lubricant inside the gearbox provides
smooth and accurate tuning stability. All hardware is chrome plated.

The
RD Standard Reissue guitar is loaded with Gibson BurstBucker Pro pickups. The
BurstBucker Pro enhances the vintage "edge" of Gibson's popular BurstBucker
pickups with the added feature of an Alnico 5 magnet. They are wax potted so
that they can withstand loud volume pressures without annoying feedback. With
the BurstBucker Pro, all "Pure Tone Lovers" can now have stunning humbucking
tone.

The Gibson RD guitar comes with a hardshell case.
