The 1977 Gibson RD Custom in Natural finish stands as a testament to a unique era in Gibson's storied history, embodying the brand's adventurous spirit during the late 1970s. This guitar, with its distinctive design and innovative features, is a prime example of Gibson's commitment to pushing the boundaries of electric guitar construction and functionality. Despite showing signs of its musical journey, such as buckle rash and player wear, this RD Custom remains in good condition, its imperfections narrating a rich history of performance and creativity.
One of the most notable features of this particular model is its fully functional Moog electronics, a rare and sought-after addition that offers a range of sonic possibilities not found in standard guitars. This unique collaboration between Gibson and Moog resulted in an instrument capable of producing an array of tones, from warm, traditional sounds to more experimental sonic landscapes. While the guitar maintains its all-original status, it has seen a minor modification in the form of changed strap buttons. It comes with its original hardshell case (OHSC), ensuring its protection and adding to its collectibility. The natural finish beautifully accentuates the wood's grain, highlighting the guitar's aesthetic appeal alongside its musical prowess.
