Additionally, the wiring is poly-coated instead of enamel-coated, which improves consistency by eliminating thin or thick spots on the wire. And because they are inspired by those original PAFs, the '57 Classic pickups are made to the exact same specs, including Alnico II magnets, nickel- or gold-plated pole pieces, nickel slugs, maple spacers, and vintage-style, two-conductor braided wiring.

Introduced in 1992, the '57 Classic provides warm, full tone with a balanced response, packing that classic Gibson PAF humbucker crunch. The '57 Classic pickups are the result of Gibson's drive to capture and recreate this renowned characteristic.
For the first few years of their production'1955 to 1961'Gibson's PAF humbuckers were wound using imprecise machines, resulting in pickups with slightly different output and tone, desirable to players who wanted to mix and match and explore a complete spectrum of tonal possibilities. Yet this fact has never swayed Gibson into changing this time-tested method, employed ever since the first guitar was swathed with lacquer back in 1894.Īmong the qualities that make Gibson's original "Patent Applied For" humbucking pickups so unique are the subtle variations between coil windings. A properly applied nitro finish requires extensive man hours, several evenly applied coats, and an exorbitant amount of drying time. And rest assured that the same labor intensive process used to finish any other Gibson guitar is the process used on the Les Paul Studio Raw Power. Gibson USA's new line of Raw Power Les Pauls are available in a new palette of satin finish colors, all coated with Gibson's traditional nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The 12-inch radius of the fingerboard provides smooth note bending capabilities and eliminates "dead" or "choked out" notes, which are common occurrences on fingerboards with lesser radiuses. The tone is snappier, the response quicker, and the clarity in unmatched. The maple makes each note literally jump off the fingerboard. Play it and you immediately feel the difference between the Les Paul Studio Raw Power and all other Les Pauls.

The maple is also 100 percent certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, making it the first fully FSC-certified series of guitars in the Gibson line.Īt first glance, the all-new maple fingerboard of the Les Paul Studio Raw Power causes you to do a double-take. Of course, like all the woods used by Gibson, the maple is personally inspected and qualified by Gibson's team of skilled wood experts before it enters the Gibson factories. It is a tone unlike any other Les Paul, and it's only available in the Les Paul Raw Power. The result is a more articulate, brighter tone, with a strong, more penetrating attack to each note. What sets apart the new Les Paul Studio Raw Power from any other Les Paul is the addition of a solid maple body, instead of the usual mahogany. Whether it's the beautifully figured flames of the Burst models, or the plain maple used for solid color finishes, a Les Paul isn't a Les Paul without it. The principal feature of any Les Paul is its maple cap. And most of all, it's affordable GÇô 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.
