Nice but too much gold for me.

Don't know why I left the pickguards on for so long...

Re: New/Used Guitar Day: 2009 Gibson Les Paul Studio Raw

Certainly better without the pickguard- good choice!

Re: New/Used Guitar Day: 2009 Gibson Les Paul Studio Raw

Never been a fan of pickguards on Pauls.

Grabbed my 3rd LP Studio Raw Power last week. This one's been modified; mainly someone stripping the paint off the back of the neck for a raw maple neck (which I'll most likely oil finish) and swapping out the '57 Classic Set for an EMG 85/81 Set.

2009 Gibson Les Paul Studio Raw Satin Trans Black: 24 ¾” Scale Unbound Mahogany Neck w/Maple Fretboard, 1 11/16” Corian Nut, 22 Frets, Dot Makers (Traditional Trapezoid at 12th Fret), Grover Tuning Pegs (going on tonight), Unbound Solid Maple Traditional Carved Top Body, EMG 85/81, Gibson Tune-O-Matic Bridge/Vintage Gibson TP6 Fine Tuning Tailpiece, Planet Waves Tribal Strap w/Schaller Locks

Sweet! What neck profile, 50’s or 60’s?

Thanks; Neck Profile -The Les Paul Studio Raw Power is fitted with Gibson’s more traditional ’50s neck profile, which is a round, meaty profile that emulates the neck shapes of the iconic 1958 and 1959 Les Paul Standards.

Playing the "Pickup Swap" Game...although Aqua is keeping the stock '57 Classics, White is getting a SD MJ Jazz Neck/CCJ Custom Custom Bridge and the Black will be possibly getting a set of Gibson HB-R/HB-L.

Re: New/Used Guitar Day: 2009 Gibson Les Paul Studio Raw

Progress: those nasty EMGs are GONE and being replaced with a SD ‘59/SH-EVH Combo...EVH is the “Frankenstein” based on what Seller stated it reads out at - 14.3k. Also threw on Black Grover Tuners in place of stock Gibson/Kluson Deluxe and have a Gibson TP-6 Fine Tuning Tailpiece that will be adorning it as well.

Replacing the Gibson ‘57 Classic Sets in both Raw Powers; Pearly Gates/JB Zebras in Aqua and Jazz/CCJ Black in White.

Will have to get some better lighting pics but got the Raw Powers back after having them "Duncanized". Jazz/CCJ in the White which is darker/heavier in the bridge than I had anticipated but I like it. Jazz/JB in the Aqua which retains a brighter/high output tone as one would expect.

Re: New/Used Guitar Day: 2009 Gibson Les Paul Studio Raw

Ha! Thank you. Not so new as I've had them about a year and a half but the Duncan Upgrade is NEW & IMPROVED.

I started to put a JB/Jazz set 8n my custom studio last week

Probably still will

Now that that pesky flu is gone

Re: New/Used Guitar Day: 2009 Gibson Les Paul Studio Raw

Yeah? They work but I kinda like the Jazz/CCJ better. Ick; I had "the crud" for almost a month. Hard to get rid of it this year.

Re: New/Used Guitar Day: 2009 Gibson Les Paul Studio Raw

Hmmm
I don't have a CC

And I do like the JB
