GoldtopFiend 2 Report post Posted July 29, 2011 Has anybody played/acquired one these "Raw Power" Studios? They Apparently are ALL Maple- Body, Neck and even the Fretboard?! I don't know how this one slipped by me (actually I do, I was in jail the year they came out) but had I known about em I probably would've taken them into consideration when I bought my latest Gibson. It's definitely an enticing concept to me- a Gibson (and a Les Paul, at that-) with a Maple neck and fretboard. How do they sound? How do they feel? I can't remember ever hearing anybody talking about them in these forums, so I imagine they never sold all that well- is this right? Do people not like them for some kind of qualitative issue, or is it just a purist type of thing where it's too far from the proven formula? Any clips? Youtube vids? Thanks in advance fellas.
