Used Gibson RD Custom Electric Guitar – Modified / Moog Electronics Removed

Description

The Gibson RD Custom is one of Gibson's most distinctive and unconventional solid-body designs, combining its unmistakable offset silhouette with the substantial feel and powerful character associated with classic Gibson electrics. Originally introduced as a forward-looking instrument, the RD stands apart from the familiar Les Paul, SG, Explorer, and Flying V and has developed a dedicated following among players and collectors.

This particular RD Custom has been modified, and its original Moog active electronics have been removed. Because the factory Moog electronics are no longer present, this guitar should not be considered an all-original example. The modification gives this RD a more straightforward electric-guitar setup while retaining the unique body design, feel, and visual character that make the RD such an interesting Gibson model.

With the Moog system removed, this guitar is especially appealing as a player's vintage Gibson rather than an untouched collector example. Its substantial construction and humbucker-driven character make it a natural choice for rock, hard rock, doom, stoner rock, alternative, progressive music, and heavier styles. It can deliver thick rhythm sounds, strong sustain, and powerful lead tones while offering a playing experience quite different from Gibson's more conventional models.

For the player who has always wanted an RD but doesn't necessarily need the original active Moog circuitry, this modified RD Custom presents an opportunity to own one of Gibson's most unusual designs in a simplified configuration. Please review the photos carefully for the exact electronics currently installed, evidence of the modifications, overall originality, and cosmetic condition.
