Manufactured Nashville USA
Pickups Classic 57 'of much better than the original 490 and 498 of the normal studio
rable key func with inlay beads and trapze douzime the box.
Channel rather narrow and round, ideal for playing shoot over.
Satin paint very sober.
Body maple one pice "Chambered" for a big sound projection
Finishing the perfect round.
The guitar is pretty heavy.
At the departure i was party to buy a Gold Studio but less thick handle and the best ten times faster microphones made me opt for Raw Power (there remained more than one). on the other hand I strongly dconseille Faded Gibson who have the name (I know because I had one) ... Better to 250 euros more to buy a Raw power.

USE

I had a Gibson SG faded whose handle was very wide and thick, I sold. The handle of the Raw power is just the opposite, more narrow than strat neck, slightly rounded and the strings are rgl ultra low. In short the guitar is super easy to play the bend and taping are a breeze compared Fender sleeve. It is not at all a round of bcheron as often on the gibson ... The Maple key is beautiful, the frets are really well done. It glides effortlessly play solos is super easy compared my Fender or my old faded SG. Really nothing for the handle I put 10/10. The bluesman like shredders will find their account. Perfect!

SONORITS

On the clean channel:
The neck pickup is round and velvety ideal for jazz and blues.
The bridge pickup is punchy and ractif opposite. Even more nervous than my strat but with more power.
The intermediary position is very smooth and fluid, it's perfect for the arpges Stairway to Heaven or purple rain.

On channel saturated:

The neck pickup sound possde standard, clean shave a city, a real bombing rhythm!
It is great to play solos kind Santana or Gary Moore.
The bridge pickup possde attack and sharp that was not my SG Faded, it is of course of the maple and super micro. In short it is a killer.

The guitar shines with its versatility, while keeping its "Gibson stamp." We can easily do funk like trash on the micro bridge.
However, it is in the blues / rock that I prefers (normal is what I play ...)

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for 3 months, the Classic 57 pickups are fabulous. The handle is extremely easy, the poustouflante sound projection. The price quality ratio is amazing. Sure there is no binding or inlays tape the eye as a Corenne but it has the "SOUND USA" closer to a deluxe Gibson Goldtop than a normal studio is dpourvu of maple table. Of the SG Faded I'm really pleased with the raw power. This is a guitar that will kick back in the legend sr Gibson ...
