#GIBSON RAW POWER SG FULL#
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. It allows the wood to breathe and age properly.Īmong the qualities that make Gibson's original "Patent Applied For" humbucking pickups so unique are the subtle variations between coil windings. It does not "seal" wood in an airtight shell ' as a poly finish does. A nitro finish is also very porous in nature, and actually gets thinner over time. You can touch up a ding on a nitro finish, but you can't on a poly finish. A nitro finish is also softer, which makes it easily repairable. This assures less interference with the natural vibration of the instrument, and allows for a purer tone. Why? For starters, a nitro finish dries to a much thinner coat than a polyurethane finish. 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. 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 SG Raw Power. Choose from Gold, Yellow, White, Blue/Platinum, Trans Ebony, Olive Green, Natural, Aquamarine and Platinum. Gibson USA's new line of Raw Power guitars 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. But play it and you immediately feel the difference between the SG Raw Power and any other SG. The very first time you look at it, though, you might have to look twice. The notes are vividly clear, and chords are purely expressive. It would seem difficult to improve upon the world's fastest-playing neck, but we did.

The maple is also 100 percent certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, making the Raw Power series the first fully FSC-certified series of guitars in the Gibson line.įor the first time, the SG is available with a three-piece solid maple neck, topped with a maple fingerboard.
