NotesMoog electronics function well but need to be recapped

A fully functional first year RD Artist, which was the top of the line RD model available at the time! This example is in good playable condition with moderate wear throughout the rest of the guitar. It plays great and has the unique RD sound with its Moog electronics still intact. However, the Moog electronics would benefit from being recapped.

HSC included.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
