Gibson Les Paul Studio Raw Power


$1,858.00 Released October, 2009

Product Shot 1 The Pros:'57 Classic pick-ups provide a bright, vintage sound. All-maple construction provides a warm, articulate tone - increases resonance. Fairly lightweight compared to other Les Paul models - conducive to stage/performance mobility.

The Cons:Paint finish lacks attention to detail - thick layers and a rough surface. Volume/Tone pots may wobble or differ in tension - feels cheaply constructed.

The maple construction was chosen for its tonal qualities, which provide the player with an articulate sound and a quick response from the mahogany neck and maple fingerboard. Pickups are of the classic ’57 humbucking variety, which provide the clear, powerful sound of the PAFs used on original Les Paul guitars. Additional features include 22 frets, individual volume and control knobs, a three-way toggle switch and Gibson’s Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece. The Gibson Les Paul Studio Raw Power comes in several different colors, including: Gold, Yellow, White, Blue/Platinum, Trans Ebony, Olive Green, Natural, Aquamarine and Platinum.
