I Am looking to sell or trade my 1978 Gibson RD Artist electric guitar. It has dual Dimarzio humbuckers and original case as well as strap-loks. It has a solid maple body and neck as well as an ebony fingerboard and gold hardware. GREAT CONDITION. Especially for being 30 years old! - Thu, 26 Feb 2009 3:36pm

No the RD's didn't have moog but did have active pickups. These guitars were Gibson's attempt at challenging B.C. Rich and Jackson in this area of the market. Sadly the person I bought this from hated the thought of Active pickups and had them replaced by Dimarzio Bluesbuckers. - Fri, 27 Feb 2009 5:40pm

I thought that the RD standard was the only one not to have moog active pre amp and Most custom and artist 77- 82 did, but then again I don't really know. most people didn't like the active moog pre amp and gutted 'em. which is what I would've done and seems to have been done! simplicity is best.

Are you in Vic? - Fri, 27 Feb 2009 5:54pm

Ya, I'm just off Hillside. If anyone's interested I'm totally willing to go a bit lower on the price. People are asking about 2000 for the same guitar on ebay. I don't expect near that much due to the non-original pickups. Even though the pickups it has have amazing tone in the solid maple body. - Fri, 27 Feb 2009 6:22pm
