Here is a demo of my 1982 Gibson Firebird II Artist CMT completely clean. These guitars have the same Moog-designed circuitry in them that the RD Artist guitars had. Gibson also made a Les Paul and ES-335 with the same components.
I go through all the positions and have labeled what switches I'm flicking with graphics in the video.
The CMT in the name stands for "Curly Maple Top", which is 1 piece! It has a TP-6 fine-tune tailpiece standard, and individual mini-tuners. The pickups are called Series VI pickups, and the finish is Antique Sunburst which seems to be the most common color for these. Slightly more rare are the Cherry Sunburst ones; I've heard rumors that there were a few in Natural made but I've never seen convincing evidence of their existence. Overall there were supposedly less than 250 of these altogether, although that number is hard to confirm. They are definitely rare, and few come up for sale (I've never seen another in this pristine condition).
I switch channels on the amp at one point for a touch more gain. There is a little bit of reverb in the effects loop. The amp is a Dirty Girl Heavy Hindenburg, miked with a Sennheiser e906 going into a Scarlett interface.
