Description

This Gibson RD Artist is an epic guitar, exploring the possibilities of all you can pack into a 6-string electric. With the original factory Moog electronics, a compression/expansion system, and the legendary Gibson "Tarback" pickups, this guitar delivers tone unlike any other Gibson. It plays like a dream thanks to a recent refret by our in-house repair team. Cosmetically, it has finish wear throughout, dings around the edges and some notable buckle rash on the back, but remains in overall good vintage condition.

Includes OHSC.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
