Has anyone saw the new Les Paul?
It has a maple body and cap with a mahogany neck and maple board. Seams like an odd combo to me.

Looks cool, would look cooler with ebony traps instead of dots IMO. -
I'd like a Standard that looked like that!!

I'd be all over it if it had a Floyd.
Seriously... it looks cool, but the dots are just wrong.
Black dots would have been just perfect on that one.-RickComment

The guitar pictured above is NOT the original "Raw Power." Below is a picture of my 2000 Raw Power before they fucked up and starting putting EMGs on the guitar.
One of, if not the most badass Les Paul I've ever owned!"POOP"Comment

Solid Maple body.
That's gonna be really heavy.Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day, set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.Comment

Whats up with the extra bit in the cutaway - looks like one of those lame Hamers.
Edit - I see - its just the angle the shot was taken. I checked out the site - I like the natural SG except for the "smokey acryllic" pickguard. If you're going to do a see-through pickguard, at least have the decency to route it out right like the Ibanez 770DX.Last edited by Grandturk; 04-03-2009, 04:43 PM.-------------------------

The original Raw Power Les Paul was a mahogany body, maple topped "STANDARD." It was designed as a no frills, plain jane Standard. The picture at the top of the page, if you go by the truss rod cover and the fact that the body has no binding, clearly shows a Studio model."POOP"Comment

They need to reissue the old Raw Power, both with and without EMGs!

The first model introduced in 2000 is the one I have. It's a screamer. Nothing subdued about it's tone. Run it through a Marshall half stack, a Mesa Boogie or even a TopHat or BadCat, and it'll make your guts gurgle!
