I had an RD std a million years ago, great axe. But to be clear the active elecs was the "Artist" model.
The reissue is of the standard. I belive that the originals had the sams pickups & controls as the LP std did.
These tended to be a bit on the heavy side but had terrific tone. Like Explorers & reverse body F'birds the shape kinda shifts everything to the left when using a strap so the 1st position is a longer reach.
