There's also the First Act customshop RD-alikes. Deb was playing those on the MBV reunion tour and sounded badass.

Re: Gibson RD
From some owner review...
It needed to be setup. Intonation was fine, but the neck needed a little relief and the bridge needed to be lowered a tad. Also had to raise the pickups. This wasn't a big deal. Thought I'd mention it though.
I was a little disapointed with the pickups. The pole pieces on the E and G strings don't line up. The spacing on the pickups don't match the string spacing. I'm surprised that Gibson used these given the obvious mismatch. The E and G strings aren't centered between the two pole pieces. They're biased to one side. Only one of the poles is below the strings - and just barely. Gibson should've selected different pickups, or made their own. I never would've expected this from Gibson.
The other thing I didn't care for has to do with cosmetics. The headstock is too small and the tuning pegs stick out too far. Plus the clover pegs are too big. They don't look right.
