Gibson Les Paul BFG
Here's an intersting take on the Les Paul - the new BFG from Gibson. No it's not a Big Friendly Giant, although that's close! BFG stands for Big Fat Guitar, and that's exactly what the BFG is. The first thing you noice is the finish - it's like someones taken a flame top Les Paul & then sand blasted the finish. It has a slightly rough feel & it looks kind of cool. Unlike any Les Paul we've seen before, the BFG has a P90 pick up at the neck & a Burstbucker 3 humbucker at the bridge. The guitar has a kill switch too so you can quickly turn the guitar on & off to get those cool Tom Morello type guitar riffs. The distressed black hardware & plain finger board (no inlays) give this guitar a real industrial look. The price is good too - a lot less than a Les Paul Standard. If you fancy a Les Paul but with a modern twist, then check out the Gibson BFG.
The BFG comes in three colours, Trans Black, Trans Gold & Trans Cherry
What Gibson say..
A stripped-down, rock n roll flamethrower, the Les Paul BFG is the most powerful Les Paul Gibson has ever made. Blasted back to the bare essentials, the BFG is the Les Paul for guitarists who want it loud, raw, and wild. Two volumes and one tone knob control the sonic spectrum put out by a high-powered Burstbucker 3 humbucker in the bridge and a screaming, singlecoil P-90 in the neck. The traditional toggle has been rewired as a kill switch, and a mini-toggle at the volume knobs controls pickup selection. An innovative powerhouse, the BFG has no binding, no figured top, no finishing touches. This gives the BFG a distinctive look that is both modern and vintage, while allowing for a price that makes pure Les Paul performance available to all players. The result is a perfect storm of eye-catching style, incredible tone, and unbeatable playability, all at a great price. Destined to be a classic.
