A.Crossfield Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 I just purchased a new Les Paul Studio Raw Power this weekend. I played it for a couple hours and the tone was great. All of the sudden the tone has changed to a single coil/split humbucker sound out of nowhere. It does not have coil splitters. I tore my amp apart and checked the tubes and circuit board and all looks fine. I don't think it is the amp...the sound is there on the overdrive and clean channels, and on the emulated output. It has the '57 classic pickups. Any thoughts? Pickups, selector switch, blown capacitor? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Did you try with another cable? something like that happened to me quite some time ago, that fixed the problem. If not, check the wiring for something unusual... I hope you fix the problem soon... Nice purchase I got the Satin Gold Les paul, good to know another Raw power player here.

Maybe even spraying some contact cleaner in the jack and pots, dirty electronics can give you a lot of headaches.
Angellus Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 firstly lets rule out the possibility of the amp, plug into another amp, a friends or head down to your local guitar shop and see if the problem transfers to another amp. try a different cable as suggested its not common for it to change so suddenly, does it happen on both pickups? if so i'd likely suspect your amp, cable or something other than the guitar as the pickups function almost idependantly from eachother with seperate pots and caps, so the cap theory of them blowing is very slim. lets make sure 100% its not the amp or cable then come back to us and we can troubleshoot the guitar good luck
