Gibson RD Custom, Ebony

Initially released in 1977, the Gibson RD model has been a cult classic for years. It is famous for its unique appearance, which takes inspiration from both the Explorer™ and Firebird™ designs, as well as its functionality and use by several popular guitarists across multiple genres. Now, the RD Custom joins the Gibson Custom core line-up for the first time. Not only is this the first Custom Shop-built RD model, but it is also the first 25.5” scale length solid body core model offered by Gibson Custom. Complete with the classic and comfortable RD body shape, including a rear tummy cut for extra comfort.

Whether you prefer a longer scale length in general, use drop tunings, or just appreciate its curvaceously elegant, classic design, the RD Custom is a great choice and a guitar that is guaranteed to help you stand out from the crowd. Now is your opportunity to experience the unique and comfortable playing experience of the cult-favourite RD Custom for yourself. A Custom Shop hard-shell case is also included.
