Week 48 - RD Standard Reissue


Similar to a reversed Firebird in body style, the Gibson RD models were introduced in 1977 but remained on the production line for only five years. In response to heavy demand from collectors worldwide, Gibson USA has proudly resurrected this double-cut solidbody with a popular Silverburst finish and a pair of Dirty Finger humbuckers. With the same bright sound and innovative design, the Gibson RD’s return is cause for celebration.

Limited run of 400
