I have my 1978 Gibson RD Artist up for sale here. It is all original, all stock, nothing has been changed since it was created! All the MOOG electronics work great.  It's heavy! 9.8 lbs with a back contour and a huge Norlin volute. It is in beautiful shape considering it is 45 years old. Of course, it has some nicks and dings associated with a guitar of this age. It is not a museum piece. The mark on the back of the neck CAN NOT be felt. All of its flaws are in the pictures posted (and there aren’t many). The bottom bout edge, player's side has wear on it. Most probably from the prior owner's guitar strap. I bought it this way over 20 years ago. This also is pictured. It is a beauty... and a beast, you will not be disappointed! The case is a replacement that I had custom ordered from a case company in North New Jersey over 20 years ago. The guitar and case never left my house.
