A Les Paul in its most basic form—without any compromises.

Gibson USA's Les Paul Studio Raw Power is the Les Paul in its most basic form, yet built like none other before. It starts with a highly resonant lightweight chambered maple body with a matching traditional carved maple top, resulting in a more articulate, bright tone. A maple fingerboard gives each played note a snappier response. The Raw Power Les Paul comes in a variety of satin 'nitro' finishes. All the rest of the basics remain the same: 22-fret solid maple neck, a volume and control knob for each pickup, one three-way toggle switch, Grover Kluson-style green key tuners and Gibson's pioneering Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece. The new Les Paul Studio Raw Power from Gibson USA is solid. It's dependable. And most of all, it's affordable—without any compromises. Includes Gibson gigbag.

A Les Paul Sleeper

Posted by mrmusa from upstate new york on Sep 30, 2009

Experience w/product: I have heard about it

Reviewer's Background: active muscian

Reviewer's Play Style: rock, country, etc.

I saw it. I played it. I bought it!! And you should too! This is truly a "sleeper"...WOW...what sound, what playability, what a nice Gibson and all at the VERY BEST price for a REAL Les Paul!!! Don't let the maple fretboard fool you that this is some sort of gimmick. It's not. The fretboard really adds to the sound in a "sweet-bright" way. The rest of the guitar: the body, the neck, the pick-ups, etc. are all of high grade quality. Being made of maple, this guitar is a different bird, but, after owning several Les Pauls in my lifetime, I must say, this is real beauty of a Les Paul. I bought the model with Natural finish and gold hardware and am very pleased with the fit, finish, and overall workmanship for a Gibson in this price range. A "sleeper"? You betcha!!! Buy it today!!! This guitar sounds great for all styles of music! Well done Gibson!!!

Nice Bright Tones

Well I saw this at my local guitar store the maple neck spoke to me. I tried it and to my surprize is really sounded good. I know alot of Les Paul purists hate this model but me being a Fender guy loves it. I wish it came with a hard case but I'll buy one for it. I have the natural finish. The finish coating is a little thin but is very smooth, not like the faded series which look and feel like they forgot to complete the painting process. If you always wanted a Les Paul but like maple necks, give this a try.

Great Guitar

Posted by HumPlucker from San Antonio on Aug 2, 2009

Experience w/product: I have used it

Reviewer's Background: Hobbyist

Reviewer's Play Style: Rock

I played this guitar at a music store today. The guitar is a bit heavier than the standard LP studio. It almost seems as if it wasn't chambered. Sounds great playing classic rock through a Vox ACTV4. One note of caution on finish: I was playing the satin white finish version of this LP and when I was done playing, the dye or clothing fibers of my bright blue t-shirt were embedded on the back of the guitar. I tried rubbing it off with my fingers, but no go. I guess the thin nitro finish is lightly sticky. By this I would guess that the finish is going to wear down fast. You'll have the 'vintage' look with all your shirt colors in the back of the guitar.
