Now this isn't one you see everyday!  Take a look at the Gibson RD!  RD Stands for Research and development, at a time when Gibson was really trying new and outside of the box designs.  Not only does this one have a very unique body shape, but it also has the Moog electronics in it.  There is some crackle and distortion when in the neutral position with both pickups.  The bridge pickup does not work in expansion/compression mode.
