![]() All Raw Power Series guitars come equipped with a Gibson gig bag, so they’re ready to hit the road and roll.I'm the king lurker on this board - like, 5 posts even though I'm on here almost every day.īut, anyway, I just bought a Raw Power SG and picked it up on my lunch break. Both guitars feature glued-in necks and are built to Gibson’s traditional 24 3/4" scale length, with a neck width of 1 11/16" at the nut. A Corian nut helps to ensure excellent resonance and sustain, as well as hitch-free performance. ![]() The legendary Gibson Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece pairing aid tuning stability and enhance sustain, while green-key Grover Vintage-style tuners add subtle vintage elegance to their superior performance. The Raw Power Series carries a hardware complement that cuts straight to the core of its intentions. In a variation from the majority of original PAFs, however, the ’57 Classics’ coils are wax potted to combat microphony and feedback squeal at high volumes so, while vintage voiced, they are also suited to high-gain playing." One of Gibson’s most popular pickups of all time, the 57 Classics employ Alnico II magnets, vintage enamel coated wire, nickel-plated pole pieces, nickel slugs, maple spacers and vintage-style, two-conductor, braided wiring, just like the legendary PAFs that they are based on. A pair of 57 Classic humbucking pickups offer a broad appeal for a wide range of playing styles. "The advanced electronics on the 2009 Raw Power models speak volumes about their intentions. Furthermore, the Les Paul Studio Raw Power is available in either chrome or gold-plated hardware." A Natural Satin finish denotes the cornerstone of the series (with smoky acrylic pickguard to enhance the natural elements in these guitars’ tops), but both models are also available in a range of finish options, including Satin Gold, Satin Yellow, Satin White, Satin Blue/Platinum, Satin Trans Ebony, Satin Aquamarine, and Gloss Platinum. "None of this simplicity means that the Raw Power guitars suffer cosmetically, however, and just like the original Raw Power Les Paul - and the Les Paul Studio - these instruments are destined to be admired for their visual purity as well as for their power and tone. Their solid mahogany necks are topped with unbound maple fretboards, which are dressed with simple dot position markers, and graced with a traditional trapezoid marker at the 12th fret." This sturdy tonewood offers a clear, well-defined sonic response, as well as looking great with minimal cosmetic treatment. Both the Les Paul Studio Raw Power and SG Raw Power feature unbound solid maple bodies, with a traditional carved top on the former. These are grab’n’go workhorse guitars for tone-conscious rock and blues artists, and they wear their attitude on their sleeves. "The new Raw Power guitars follow the no-nonsense ethos of Gibson’s popular Studio series, and their down-to-business looks are packed with performance features that the hard-gigging modern musician will appreciate. ![]() ![]() We don't like to toss that word around, especially on ten year old gear so we'll just call it "excellent." It was easy to find the original description from Gibson: This one is super clean and dare we say very close to mint. The Raw Power series is a great take on Gibson's classic lineup. ![]() The game is also capped to 30fps on Stadia, which is baffling given its 10.2TFlop claim. The first Borderlands 3 campaign add-on, Moxxi’s Heist of the Handsome Jackpot, is also expected to launch on Stadia in early 2020.” “Noteworthy features coming to the Stadia version of Borderlands 3 expected in early 2020 include endgame content like the Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite and Mayhem 4 difficulty, dedicated loot pools for bosses, and additional bank space. “At launch, the Stadia version of the game will reflect all updates and fixes that were released through October 24,” says 2K in a press release. Stadia’s received Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Dragonball Xenoverse 2 and Borderlands 3–but Borderlands 3 is a two-month-old build that’s missing recent patches and updates, and even the recently released DLC. Stadia’s just received a trio of new games–I say new, but they’re games already playable elsewhere–but at least one of them isn’t in the state it should be. ![]() While streaming is undoubtedly the future of video gaming, the emphasis has to be on future, because it’s not really that hot right now. It also hasn’t really received many new games since its soft launch last month. It also doesn’t really have any exclusive games that make it a must-have, aside from Gylt, which has had a middling reception. Stadia has yet to have a wide launch, and it’s available right now only to early adopters. There are probably several reasons for that. Nobody’s talking about Stadia at all anymore – unless things go wrong. ![]() Maybe it’s just me, but conversation around Google’s gaming platform of the future, Stadia, has fallen off a cliff. |
