Before we went away for a hiking weekend in Germany, I checked whether there were any guitar stores in the neighborhood. Turned out there was one: rareguitar.de. They had a dog and a nice collection with two RS530s, one in the same color as our own RS530! We saw this 520 and as soon as I tried it, I knew it had to come with us. Unfortunately the pickups aren't original, but the Gibson USAs do a very good job nonetheless. The combination of Forest Green body and gold hardware is daring but it works very well in our opinion.
