🥇 GIBSON LES PAUL STUDIO RAW POWER — THE GOLD STANDARD OF BAD DECISIONS! 🥇

IS THERE SUCH A THING AS TOO MUCH GOLD?

That’s like asking if there’s such a thing as too much tone.

Or too much money. Or too much horsepower. Or whether Elvis really needed all those rhinestones.

The answer to all of these questions is NO.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and people who have their retirement savings tied up in vintage guitars — feast your eyes on this absolutely unapologetic GOLDEN GODDESS: the Gibson Les Paul Studio Raw Power!

We’re talking GOLD TOP. GOLD BACK. A RARE MAPLE NECK. And just when you thought this guitar had achieved maximum precious-metal status, somebody decided that Gibson hadn’t gone nearly far enough.

Enter the aftermarket gold upgrades!

✨ Gold pickup toppers? Naturally.

✨ Textured gold pickguard? Of course.

✨ Subtlety? We don't know her.

This guitar doesn't enter a room. It makes an entrance. Somewhere, a jewelry store just activated its silent alarm, Fort Knox has increased security, and a nearby casino is wondering where its showroom display went.

You could park this thing under a spotlight and the International Space Station would mistake it for a newly discovered star.

And the TONE? This is a Les Paul, folks. That thick, muscular, glorious Gibson growl that makes amplifiers question their life choices. Plug it in, crank it up, and prepare to deliver riffs so powerful that your neighbors will suddenly develop an interest in noise ordinances.

The Studio Raw Power was already a statement piece. This one has apparently decided to become the entire statement, the cover page, the appendix, and the gold-embossed hardcover edition.

Is it understated? Absolutely not.

Is it tasteful? Well, taste is subjective, and so is the definition of excessive wealth.

Is it awesome? WICKED AWESOME.

Imagine showing up to a gig with this beauty slung over your shoulder. You won't need a fog machine. You won't need stage pyrotechnics. You might not even need a spotlight. Just turn sideways and let the finish do the work.

And if someone says, “Buddy, isn't that a little TOO much gold?”

Look them straight in the eye and ask:

“Is there such a thing as too much tone?”

Then hit an open E chord and let the conversation end naturally.

This is not a guitar for people who want to blend in. This is a guitar for people who believe that if you're going to rock, you might as well rock like you've just inherited a small country.

Available now from Fargarshio’s Guitar World, where our motto is simple:

LIFE IS SHORT. BUY THE GOLD GUITAR.

Because some guitars are instruments.

Some guitars are investments.

And some guitars look like Midas joined a classic-rock tribute band and demanded creative control over the wardrobe.

This, my friends, is the third kind.

🥇 GIBSON LES PAUL STUDIO RAW POWER — ALL THAT GLITTERS ISN'T GOLD. SOMETIMES IT'S A GIBSON. 🥇

Includes original black plastics and comes with a like new modern Gibson hardshell case (the style with the padded leathery exterior).

Have a wicked good one!
