Excellent guitar
Published on 01/15/13 at 12:27 (This content has been automatically translated from French)Manufactured in the USA, 50s rounded neck, 22 frets, 1 and 1 P90 Burstbucker
USE
Handle very pleasant, not too heavy, good access to acute,
SONORITS
In terms of sonorits: Excellent!
Roundness and warmth of P90 rivaling the edge of the Burstbucker and intermediary position of any beauty. Although the distortion is his playground, in the sonorits are very clean thanks to the bluesy P90 ... In short an excellent guitar
NOTICE GLOBAL
This guitar is flat normment me, fills me with his inimitable style, and the alliance of these two microphones that in only found in high-end Gibson!00Poppyrus

It may be that the killswitch is wired incorrectly original! See the trick Royuth about this but I 'go back.
By against good overall finish.
UTILIZATION
The whole is well-balanced, weight is much lighter than the Les Paul (I know) with the chambered body, moreover it gives the guitar a beautiful acoustic resonance!
To handle the bin that is typical Gibson again, rather thick, acute access not easy ... One needs to get used to a little grip n 'is not great but it s' is also there. It is pleasant.
No problem keeping the tuning for mine.
We quickly found a good sound!
SOUNDS
It is a unique combination that P90 and BurstBucker choice. It is what 'm really interested and I must say that I have been served!
The P90 is great for clean sounds (and all kinds of effects)! For more severe or crunches distos it's worse, almost more joints and the sound is "mat".
The BurstBucker is really intended to overdrive and distos. A nice grain, enough "edge" with a big fishing.
J really like these pickups and their combination is also great! The buttons work well and offer a wide range of sounds.
OVERALL OPINION
For the record I have bought at the store where I worked at the time and it's I who have received out of the box (I confirm moreover critical to the factory settings ...) . It was just as GIBSON the sent ...
I'm long past for a madman to explain that there was a problem with this guitar, a strange electrical hum from that you do not touch the guitar ...
Since Royuth thank you for the tip!
Yes because the killswitch was wired wrong. But the guitar was apparently inspected (the checklist in the case was validated ...).
It is absolutely unacceptable for me! They are the fart GIBSON USA, haha! Like what quality the serious application work vaunted ...
I 'm still was able to accept this problem, first because I don' t seem to find the problem and then with a good noisegate I 'm going out as well as possible, while the entire planet slanderous do not able to make it sound completely!
Since then, I have reversed the red and white cables from the selector magic killswitch and more noise. I recommend to all those who have problems with noise that they s' not explain that despite the fact that they played with MonsterCable jacks (and know a little about the instrument cables and connectors) have acquired a new who spent hours testing with other amps in different places with other electric jacks etc. ...!
Yes, I have resented this story ... lol
I want to clarify that I do not take my case to a general and I do not want to denigrate a brand, model or anything else, but it seemed important to say that I have lived.
Apparently many other users of this model or brand that have been and are still very satisfied with their instruments.
It is today the only case I can leave the ring and get the max.
My conclusion:
It's been a while since I have and this is clearly the most versatile of my guitars. I made the handle, I have rewired the killswitch and I 'really love to play it, it sounds to hell, is convenient to carry, light!See less93snole

In terms of getting a good sound so easy and the p90 Burstbucker 3 gives me exactly what I needed.
SOUNDS
Good to dwell on the sound (it's still the most important I think.) This guitar is really perfect, far from being versatile I wanted a guitar that will give me a nice fat blues distortion to a big punchy for rock (Turbonegro, motorhead ...), although the ET Burstbucker p90 and its just amazing to cela.J 've played most often on a Line 6 Bogner valve112 lamp, but also a Randall MTS head lamp 50w, and fender blues deluxe, I never found him getting default what I wanted easily.
Only bemol a buzz in the p90 but nothing really good handicapping.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for about a year I hesitated to take a Gretch also has in place but ultimately I do not regret my choice I certainly remake, I put a 10 because I find a bit exaggerate the opinion that this basis on a test store and located the defect of the world has a guitar so that's what it is I will not blame access to acute quite normal for a les paul or finish but their quality and interest on the brief guitar value for money in hand is really good.
This is a guitar that I recommend to punchy rock or blues-man on acid ^ ^.See less52MGR/AdamTaylor
Gibson Les Paul BFG
Published on 05/04/07 at 15:00I've been playing guitar for five years and decided i need a guitar to suit my ability. I play in two bands, which are both rock/metal as well as recording my own stuff.
I bought the Les Paul BFG for £700 (around $800?) in a coda music (Hertfordshire, England). I bought the guitar as it was the best guitar i've probably ever played. Also, it was also the only Les Paul i've played that i like and that suits me style of music.
Firstly, the unfinished finish is great. The gold unfinished feel of the wood is just to die for and it looks great just hanging from my wall.

Firstly, the unfinished finish is great. The gold unfinished feel of the wood is just to die for and it looks great just hanging from my wall. Also, the combination of the P90 and Burstbucker make a great teram when playing anything from clean blues, to full out metal. The action of the neck is also incredibly low and easy to play. There is no truss rod cover on this model, but it's deliberate to give it that unfinished, raw feel, which gives the axe it's own personality and character.
The strap buttons were quite small, but they were shortlived as I replaced them with straplocks. Otherwise, i have no peroblems with this guitar.
The construction, although unfinished, is well built with no signs of bad assembly or poor craftmenship. The guitar is made in the USA and goes to show the guitar is very well buiit.
This guitar is amazing and well worth the money I payed for it. It's probably one the best Under £1000 ($1100?) Les Pauls i've ever played. I'd recommend it anyone who wants an axe which is both flawless and affordable.

UTILIZATION
Channel lumberjack, I prfr a 60 'but you get it! Same for the abscence of the key landmarks. you get used quickly to points on the cot of the handle.
Access to acute Lespaulien is, if you know what I mean. The weight is present. lighter than my Cort M400 but much more than my PRS. Good strap must, but not death!
the sound is good right now, whatever the rglages, ca send!
Cot lctronique, mine is rewired in standart, the sudden I recupre a micro tone, and ca is important.
SOUNDS
On the bridge, its a rather modern accommodates many disto. crunch has ac / dc, heavy distortion or light metal, ... is its domain. a little loud and we thank the tone a little to rein in the treble.
p-90 is round and chaud.divain the clear and very good in a blues record, but will stop at the gain, if not, it gets rough.
Between the two micro is the big gap but it allows to consider all the config settings and all kind of music
The combination of two microphones (+ the opportunity to play on the flight tone) offers a bit of roundness to the bridge or a bit of clarity to the neck pickup, ca dpend how we see!
In short, the fat, heavy, gibson, but changes of the Lord 490. I could compare it with a studio, p90 is doing rather well.
I play on a laney lamp and I love playing on volumes for a clear sound on the stick and send heavy on the bridge just by playing the selector: fadetoblackaddict:
OVERALL OPINION
I for 1 year. I dreamed of an LP and n'tant not a fan of the studio and not having the budget for a standart, I had to find a compromise. She should look at both of the sounds. Quality price ratio very good (mine has no default finish).
I recommend it to someone who only plays on a guitar as she can do anything.
If you play country music, there are the tls, + if you are very heavy metal, look LTD, but for everything else you can think of the BFG. (Must still apprcier gibson sound)

Well I branch into a peavey classic30 (sometimes coupled with a Vox Tonelab SE).
The P90 is super hot and rather fat, specific settings are therefore needed, but sounds as good. With a bit of crunch sound quickly becomes "fit in".
The intermediate position is very interesting in the clear. There are sounds very funky I think. Reggae also sounds.
The double Burstbucker: then with that there, you can send the sauce. Grosse disto without problems. But with less gain (type rock'n'roll), ca does too much.
In his clear, micro sounds like "double bridge". As its dry enough so typical of the double bridges.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for almost two weeks, and I was really starting to love the scratches.
I once had an ibanez RG2620 prestige and I am not at all unhappy with the change. I find its more accurate than the ibanez (which had yet IBZ pickups / di Marzio!)
I wanted a guitar without vibrato, and I turned to Gibson like, and then I saw the scratches to 1100 euros in tho-tho. The combination of micro, style and my budget stuck with this model, then ....
This is a great choice for me!
EDIT 22/06/2007: It is now 4 months and I use the bfg my opinion is very positive. I did 6 concerts, twenty repeated with more home use ... The guitar sounds very well for my taste, I love the P90, it's fairly crude fat comes out. The bridge pickup terrible distortion, and the combination of two plain.
The holding of the agreement is still good. Short, but fun to use each

You will need a strong noise reducer (ns2 me I used the boos).
Ms. low volume, even with the kill switch, you'd be using a laptop softphone to the amp, seriously, this is a default of ALL bfg (with distortion, course, even with the gain 1 / 4).

These problems I'm talking about certainly appears clearly in a sound spectrum, we will record an album and I wish a lot of courage all the ings around the world to clean up all the audio tracks for guitarists who bought a bfg ... really, on this one should have the gibson rethink the thing ...

SOUNDS
Branch on my Marshall head 70, via a Mesa Bottle Rocket is a killer.
You can not play any prs from blues to metal.
Unlike some critics, I find her absolutely gniale, prcis, aggressive when
desired, or soft and round the other way around.
The sound pickup is absolutely identical suprme a Les Paul (3000USD) I've experienced at the same time.
And the whole is much better than a Les Paul classic, playing rock and hard rock
OVERALL OPINION
This guitar has an excellent report qualitprix.
A sound worthy of the "great" modern Les Paul.
I would do without this choice hsiter.
Last day to 31/10/07:
For three months I played with and my opinion remains unchanged really a super skyscraper for the rock / hard rock.
For the problem of noise mentioned in the opinion just plug the amp on a "true" earth ground. Classroom RPET or concert, my disto Mesa road, not a sound, not a parasite, and the kill switch really plays a rle.See less10davyadam

for the rest of my comrades previous posts have already summed up the picture of the baby in question.
Quick History: Gibson for some time trying to return to the niche occupied by the "copier" LTD which has taken over part of the market. Gibson gives results in the "destroy" in the "jeunz of" playing to the Metal of jneuz. The look of the guitars to follow. in the case of the BFG is also one of the important points for choosing this guitar, its appearance is taken into account in its accessibility (see below).
UTILIZATION
This is where Gibson is "correct" if I may say so, a fault become a feature of the Les Paul: an enormous weight that you just warp back after several months of rehearsals, but participating in the musical identity of the instrument.
So recently, some of the creations of Gibson are dug. In some ways eased fairly sensitive.
The direct result: a sound that would happen almost amp (I said almost). This was my first pleasant surprise by trying it. No need to connect it to hear you purring in the guts.
As soon as you tell yourself that once connected, it must still have an impact.
And then there is no picture of velvet. (More details below).
Before detailing the sound so I continued on ergonomics.
Leaving a '76 Explorer, it changes a lot. shape, size, weight and especially the handle.
There is no varnish and as they say here some: it is rougher, the fear of hanging.
I hung already personal with the sleeve of my varnish Explorer (grime concerts, humidity, etc. ..).
I thought that indeed it would make things even more difficult.
Here's an idea quickly swept away by a few hours on the machine: no problem to move, it runs by itself, or better than the varnish. Let me explain: the aspect of "porous" wood, that moisture evaporates very quickly by hand and personally I have gained in fluidity of play
Access to acute: good to be honest when you buy a Les Paul should not have any illusions, access to this part of the handle is never easy. Also in comparison with the Explorer, I did not feel much difference. Up 15-16 the box is still correct, go beyond immediate force held the handle different, that after a history of taste and habit. if you have to play a round of solo and not come complaining.
I will join still a negative comment for access to the pickup selector a little to the west, behind the buttons of volume and tone. Not super convenient switch regularly.
Unlike the killsiwtch (a very good idea) would could be at that place (it smells like hack into the body of the guitar soon to fix it: D)
SOUNDS
Sound: not looking for a medium on this guitar, there is no or very little. its spectrum switches from a sharp gain very hot, well detailed with a wealth quite impressive for such a scratch. And a mass grave sweeping you in the face as soon as you switch on the microphone serious. The difficulty is then (as often on a Les Paul or Explorer) to play with the volume knobs for the pieces. To take a shot, that I had on the Explorer.
My style, I would have to define my style. making recovery Rock, it affects all my faith and I both managed to adapt to the Blur of Stones, such as ACDC, the Ulgy Kid Joe or Steppenwolf. Some problems of clarity on its funkiest rhythm (but good Fender is not here for that).
It was tested on a Marshall JCM2000 studio, clear, crunch as lead. Hard not to find satisfaction.
Its strong point that it finally made me feel better (for now) is this multitude of details in each note lead.
Rhythmically it is square, it breaks not, for the metal, it défourraille well while avoiding its too cold Rican typed Jackson or Ibanez (especially recent).
A little trouble with the bass sometimes too bold for some time aclimatation will be required to learn to know her.
OVERALL OPINION
I owned a 1997 Gibson Explorer '76 in 8 years that I kept. I am separated because I felt more comfortable on it and after testing several Les paul I really had a better feeling on it. The Explorer was very good, but too Péchu at times. So welcome exit Explorer and Les Paul BFG
I bought the beast itself, three days ago, so it's a hot view. At first I was a little confused, I even thought I would regret my purchase. I tested again for 3 hours. my mistake: playing with the strap set for the old guitar, result: a bad position and difficulty to play.
Some mechanical and a few inches (strap) above, I found the right place between her and me. I managed it on things I was struggling to pass on the old (and yet I love the Explorer).
I will say that I love most: it simply a soul. This extreme heat. crachotte it a little when we do not know how too tame. just the same "problem" fishing microphones as the original Explorer.
The bass is super heavy, so have to think to play the volume. The highs are pure Gibson style, on a canal in 2000 JCM crunch with just winning 2-3, which is going out live ACDC.
Been tested on my poor dung Park 10 watts (ah ben neighbors love him more than 80), I was quite surprised to have come to the "acceptable" on this type of amp.
I got new (street Douet, thank you Universal) with fly and Straplock matching (black) € 820 for all, given its starting price (end 2007), it seems to me rather a good deal. However, with such a scratching sound personality for less than € 1,000 it becomes rare. Here is Gibson's guarantees, so why deprive yourself.
However, I think investing in a guitar darker and colder (type Ibanez 7-string)
For the notice with experience, I will return in a few months to tell you, even if I already have an idea.See less00dreadytom

Form, and ACCDE to acute, well it's Les Paul, small hands = small pleasures, but for large fist, we enter the treble alone.
Sound, easy to get, sending mchamment pure.
A prciser, out of the flight, a play, but personally it's 10-52 and lower action, so changing strings, and the passage rglage microphones (original ca touched the strings in the treble regardless m ***).
SOUNDS

For me who plays Rock, punk rock, stoner, the sound is VERY slap t!!
Unbelievable versatility: the P90 in the clear sounds soft and velvety (Tone it down and Jazzland), and ds the distortion happens, a crunch, a purr, and once a become hoarse, but prcis drooling, with his stoner's best effect.
The Humbucker, in short, we play funk, although with a good slamming prsence in acute, but not too intrusive, always gibson mediums that coats everything, and if you go up the gain is HUGE! ! Sound is very modern, yet powerful, sharp, and prcis, regardless of the type of distortion, a STRID oats!
The combination of the two, playing on the respective volumes allows all kinds of sound over a lespaulienne the other, more traditional too.
Trs so versatile, and at the same time as fiendishly more typ lespaul pp: we're going to essentially the knobs ragissent the slightest turn and sounds heavy.
The BMOL? Ben killswitch is gnial, but they just nglig cabling: the way into the distortion and it deserves the buzz has ensured the shield.

I've had one month and a faith RULES my tastes, well, it's the killer!!
I love the cot roots that will essentially power and versatility of microphones. The lightness of the whole, too, thanks to the body which also provides a deferment phnomnal sustain.
For 800 new store, difficult to happen to her ankle.
If Gibson could treat the welds, and rglages, it would be the 10/10.
But is provided as is gach ...
It's simple, from the look and sound, we love it or hate it!!

Well as I said it is versatile so we had to slam his fat or following the positions of the selector and adjustment knobs.
- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
I like everything
OVERALL OPINION
Well then I must let out a rant because it strongly criticized badly and I do not think it's normal. It's basically a Les Paul that has been completely modified by Gibson to bring something new and it's successful, then those who say we do not find the sound of a Les Paul "normal" Bah the beans should not buy it because it is not the butts of the scratches!
I would definitely do it again this choice
Edit: After several months of use I am still very happy with my purchase, especially now that I have a tube amp. The sound is absolutely great, something bizard the switch makes no noise with this amp (Blackheart (I will not complain)). I associated with an MXR distortion III and it's really up to play everything (except extreme metal).See less10Gtisa

UTILIZATION
Unvarnished handle, very nice when you sweat from the hands (it does not stick). You have to love handles thick, of course, but with big feet is nickel. One complaint, the frets slightly protruding at the edges, on all copies tested (4 to 3 different stores).
Access to acute is how to say ... Gibsonian.
Lighter than other les paul because of a partially hollow body, which brings a good presence in the bass. Overall, good ergonomics for a les paul, with the exception of the placement of switches, but I think I'll get used to it ...
Frankly, it sounds! Even empty, the sound is amazing, with a good presence in the bass.
SOUNDS
It is perfect for my style, neo-death-thrash-black-pagan-viking metal symphonic-melodic-hardcore (sorry, metal).
For now, I have tested on a marsh-mal MG30DFX (I said that the pun is only valid for this type of model transo) and my micro cube, then certainly I edit my post aprem this when I found my randall Rh50.
Even with the rolland, I get a fat, however, especially with the P90, with much more personality than the Seymour Duncan (SH1 and SH11) of my washburn.
In short:
Microcube: his round with an amazing presence in the bass for this type of amp. trend in pickup cruncher. Overall very nice.
Crunch:
Microcube: The P90 is doing wonderfully. The sound is bold and very progressive knobs allow a wide variety of shades (using the three modes of overdrive and distortion Microcube, I'm going from blues to heavy metal crunch to the former). The Burstbucker is slamming, perfect for rithmiques or lead to the AC / DC.
Disto big rock:
mirocube: inevitably, it lacks a bit of momentum because of the amp, but the sound is still very good. The P90 brings a heavy sound and bold, very rough, a delight. Sweet Child O'Mine by itself. The Burstbucker allows big riffs, but is warmer and less accurate than SH6 SH11 or prevent me one. It was really a les paul, this is the kind of records that the bfg excels.
Disto metal:
Microcube: bbien on, the amp is not up to par, but the sounds RESTENA very flattering. A good dynamic mics, a lot of personality, a very different kind of gun current type esp + emg. I finally sound to play, for example, Zakk Wylde. I look forward to plug it into my randall trying to sound more current equa and all the rest.
Then, of course, it is difficult to play jazz. But from blues to metal, the bfg the challenge seems to have fixed it (see the horrible promo clip): gibson bring into the world of big modern sound.
November 2008: After six months of use, still enjoy. And it's even better on my randall knew that the micro cube ... Initially, I bought it thinking up a kit EMG Zakk Wylde, but I like it like that too!
Feb. 2009: Finally, I brought up the kit EMG Zakk Wylde: a pure killing in the minds of signatures of the master but for less than a third of the price ...
OVERALL OPINION
Used for 3 days, then step back again.
I love the sound, look bad end. This guitar is barely finished the big fuckin 'gun was expected. However, we can regret the position switches.
Initially, I was considering buying a scratching of metal base, dean razorback style. And then I met the Hasar bfg and realize that I liked more than any other ESP and Jackson previously tested. I then tested a lot of models:
- 4 BFG
- Les Paul Studio
- Les Paul Standard
- Epiphone Zakk Wylde (Very good)
- Truckster Ltd (excellent)
- EC1000 Ltd in 3 finishes and types of microphones
- The Fernandes Ravelle
- Hagstrom Ultra Swede
- Nick Catanese Washburn WI 67 (very good but I have a WI 65)
Frankly, the BFG is probably not the best, but it has a lot of personality, both aesthetic and sound, and that's what I liked.
For 850 euros, I had one of the last copies before this pattern disappears (replaced by BFG Limited with different finishes and also more expensive). The report QP seems excellent for the price, and even good at over 1000 euros with gibson, it also buys the myth.
Ilme seems difficult to speak of experience in 3 days ...
Overall, although not very versatile guitar, but with a strong personality, made for big sound. Anyway, nice that leaves no one indifferent and signs brilliantly resurgence of Gibson after a fairly dismal marked mainly by price increases very little justified.See less10ironbull

In terms of p90 is a real Russianness. This guitar is THE FIRST gibson happens to ring a single coil (which is so easily a fender)
Leaving a "tone" is a good idea. But we did not need the space to put a kill-switch. Any Gibson can do if we cut a microphone.
In addition, it is mounted upside down, causing a buzz. I am and I rgl lectronicien the problem, but everyone does not have a soldering iron! The worst is that the hole is 1 mm wider than the switch and the worst of the worst is that there is no stopping the washer for nut. If you tighten the switch, the nut will scratch and then go into the woods!
Yet another fundamental error: no plastic button at the end of the switch of choice of microphones.
The switch is a dplac from the classic p, which makes it less accessible. Without this button can be seen and you can hardly hurt the drive. This switch is used by all musicians in their songs and the transition should be quick and straightforward. Here we see it, so it rt!

This is not the handle of a Charvel or my explore, but rather "odd" because it looks solid, it is easy and flexible, and allows a lot of plans shred even in the high .
the weight of the guitar is for something because it has better hands than a les paul "classical", much less manageable.
Rosewood is very beautiful with long clean the veins are taken on the edge of the handle), and is one of the reasons for his purchase. However, I am no less convinced that the back is "fake old" kind of dco saloon. this is not what we see most.
nice surprise
SOUNDS
My style is hard rock with blues spectrum of metal.
the P90 works wonders on the blues, it is round and drool / fuzz / crunch Legrant bottom; cool as the passages clean mix in with the mic needle.
more lightweight mount to the strings, the Block III turns the mic almost as keen to explore (T490?): slightly less power as the marshall 100 MkII (with boost pramp) as the peavey classic 30 but a little more precision.
I'm not a big fan of the les paul: I love the game page, or slash, but I find their sound (and that of LP players) quite noisy electrical and / baveu => I am SG. When I tried several les paul (custom, studio, ...) with guitar legend, no pb to choose between a studio and the BFG.
in addition, empty it sounds great
I read reviews of electrical noise, I have no pb ...
ditto on the frets: 0 bp
and I saw a notice saying it is under low a tl = I'm really surprised!
OVERALL OPINION
25 years of guitar, always in groups, close to 15 guitars and 5 amps tlcaster which I bought the BFG in December 2008 (Limited natural color).
strengths:
- P90 + alliance BlockIII: all sounds kind as homognes and balance in styles prcits
- Light weight: => maneuverability of the guitar in concert to move or to attack a solo "corners" and friendly APRS several hours of repeated + profile
- LP form, beauty of the handle and nice hardware (eg wood button.)
weak points:
- Not quite the sound of an LP (but its all the same gibson)
- Dco false us back by ice against small (plastic) to see elec = cool
mine is no default, trs good rule and therefore it sounds great.
my son a super piphone, but there's no comparison between the two (especially neck and) he bites me tt time the BFG!See less11King Loudness
Great stripped down LP
Published on 08/13/11 at 20:05The Gibson BFG was introduced by Gibson to bring a more affordable and bare bones guitar to the line of admittedly very flashy, classy and expensive Les Pauls. It has no binding, no inlays and an extremely rough cut maple top... no pristine flame maple here folks! It features a mahogany body and neck, the rough cut flamed maple top, a rosewood fretboard with 22 frets, Kluson tuners, tune-o-matic bridge and a unique pickup/electronics layout that combines a P90 in the neck position with a Gibson Burstbucker in the bridge. Each pickup has its own volume control, there is a master tone, and as well the guitar contains a kill switch.

Each pickup has its own volume control, there is a master tone, and as well the guitar contains a kill switch. Pretty stripped down guitar, but the feel is still pure Les Paul all the way.
UTILIZATION
The BFG is a fairly medium weight guitar that sits on the body a little better than some of the heavier LPs, such as my Traditional Plus. The design of the Les Paul in general isn't what I'd call ergonomic at all, but this one seems MORE ergonomic then many of them. Not really a plus, but I mean if you're playing a Les Paul you should expect to feel that hog on your shoulder at all times. The upper fret access is not great but it's not horrible... you can get the high notes when it matters but it isn't going to be effortless.
Getting a good sound out of this guitar is not difficult. They have a pretty bare bones sort of sound... very raw and honest. The P90 does its thing, the humbucker does something else. It won't tell you what you want to hear... it'll tell you what you sound like. You can throw a bunch of effects on it to drown the guitar in wetness... but why would you want to?
SOUNDS
I've tried this guitar through a few different rigs. It's a pretty simplistic guitar and sounds best through a similar amp. Single channel Fender, Dr. Z, even something like a Mesa Electra Dyne will work. The cleans are not pristine, but rather they have a really rough hewn quality to them that adds a little bit of natural breakup to the sound. The P90 gets some of those smokey jazz/blues tones and the humbucker will take you into the rock and funk arena.
Kicking in some overdrive yields a raw and vicious assault that echos the punk and grunge etho of loud, aggressive and ready to knock over anyone who gets in the way. The P90 howls with a sincere sustain that can only be achieved with the LP design and the humbucker just gives off a killer raunchy tone that drives any amp into oblivion with harmonic overtones and saturation. It's not a super high output sounding guitar but it has that certain something that works for the over the top vibe really well.
OVERALL OPINION
All in all I think the Gibson BFG is a cool guitar for anyone who wants a really stripped down and simple Les Paul that trades in class for a raw power that just embodies the very spirit of rock n' roll. They're now discontinued but you can still find them used for about $800 which isn't a bad deal. You aren't getting much in the features department, but the tone is more than enough to cover you. Try one out for sure.See less00Hatsubai
Stripped down but still cool
Published on 08/13/11 at 19:26Gibson released the BFG model for those who want to have a humbucker and P90 guitar in one, along with those who don't need a bunch of the fancy options that some of the other Les Pauls offer. The guitar features a mahogany body with a maple top, mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard, 22 frets, no inlays, pickguard, binding, hard tail bridge, two humbuckers, two volumes, one tone, one kill switch and a three way switch.
UTILIZATION
The guitar was pretty solid overall. The frets themselves were nicely crowned, although the could have been leveled a touch better. I'm not sure if there was a slight hump in the neck or if it was the frets themselves not being perfectly level, but …Read moreGibson released the BFG model for those who want to have a humbucker and P90 guitar in one, along with those who don't need a bunch of the fancy options that some of the other Les Pauls offer.

UTILIZATION
The guitar was pretty solid overall. The frets themselves were nicely crowned, although the could have been leveled a touch better. I'm not sure if there was a slight hump in the neck or if it was the frets themselves not being perfectly level, but I was having some issues in the middle of the fretboard that the truss rod couldn't dial out. The nut on this was cut nicely, so no issues there. Upper fret access is the same as every other Les Paul out there in that it's nothing to write home about.
SOUNDS
This pickup combination is a really cool marriage of pickups. In the one corner, you have the humbucker. It delivers that fat sound with tons of overdriven bite to it. I actually find that these don't have enough output and clarity for me, but I've never been a real huge fan of stock Gibson pickups to begin with, so take that with a grain of salt. The P90 in the neck is awesome for those fat, bubbly lead tones that absolutely scream. It's like a really fat single coil, and it just rips.
OVERALL OPINION
These are real cool guitars, and they're probably better buys than the Gary Moore models simply because they tend to be cheaper. However, the Gary Moore models are more consistent and tend to sound better, so it's a trade off between the two. Either way, see if you can try some out and see if you like the P90.See less10MatrixClaw

UTILIZATION
This is easily my favorite playing Les Paul of all time. The familiar feel of a standard, but with a satin finish on the neck, instead of a glossy lacquer, which allows for a much smoother neck and quicker speed along the fretboard. My only wish is that these came with 24 frets, instead of 22, because the cutaway on Les Pauls make it somewhat hard to get up to the top frets - Those extra 2 frets would mean I might actually be able to get to the 22nd fret!
The killswitch, while not all too practical for most people, is a cool feature that allows you to kill the sound of the guitar instantly. Useful for in between songs at gigs, or at home, if your amp is prone to feedback, or if you don't want to accidently hit a string and make noise (so you don't have to roll your volume back).
The neck is the 50's neck, which is fatter than the 60's slim neck, but not quite as fat as the R9's neck. However, don't let that fool you, while it's what some might consider a "baseball bat" or "boat" neck, it's really quite comfortable and the satin neck adds MUCH more speed to it than would normally be available in other Les Pauls.
SOUNDS
This guitar is amazingly versatile, and is my first experience with a P90. Unfortunately, I bought mine used, and it didn't come stock, instead, it has an EMG 81 in the bridge, and a P85 in the neck. Normally, I'm not a huge fan of EMGs, but they sound great in a big chunk of mahogany!
The tone of this guitar is only what I can explain as... Chunky. It's got a huge, thick tone to it that will make any amp sound full and crisp. The P-90 neck pickup is awesome, and is the closest I've come to achieving the tone I've been wanting out of my neck pickup for years. They are more aggressive than a normal humbucker in the position, and really cut through a mix nicely. They still retain the neck position's fatness, without sounding muddy and overly bassy, very nice!
OVERALL OPINION
Overall, I really like this guitar. It's an excellent platform for upgrades, of which I've pretty much upgraded everything on, but I'm sure it sounds and plays great in stock configuration.
For the price these guitars pop up for on the used market, it's hard to pass them up. They utterly demolish the Studios, and are easily as good as a Standard if you don't need all the bells and whistles. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking to pick up a Gibson that's actually worth the price it costs!See less10grimaldi07

UTILIZATION
A handle cut off by careless loggers Shredder dormant in us
Nevertheless a very significant hit, despite a touch flat frets filed down to a minimum which hangs a bit but nothing really embarrassing, after all it wanted and it gives character to the game!
Access to acute? Bah is a Les Paul, not so easy as that, especially with the thickness of the handle but after it is mostly a matter of habit.
The ergonomics of the guitar is better thought out than on a standard because its weight is better distributed through the hollow body and it does not fatigue at all even after several hours of play standing.
Once the guitar and set the action to a minimum is incredibly easy to get perfectly smooth and clear sound is a Gibson!
In terms of polish, fine, a light coat of satin to protect the instrument and you feel all the ribs of the wooden table carved, super nice. The handle when it receives to a thicker layer to let slip the hand of the guitarist and preserve its virtuosity. In fact thoughtful.
One downside, the guitar goes out of tune ever, a horror that is why I opted for Grover Rotomatic similar in appearance to avoid distorting the aesthetics and for a perfect tuning stability.
SOUNDS
This is a guitar that is definitely worth visiting because of its versatility
In fact the P90 sound very round, warm, jazzy and all the usual fuss with this type of microphone either plain or saturated while in the bridge position Burstbucker will vibrate the membranes of your combos in the sturdiest riffs furious!
A composition are unusual for this type of guitar that gives its charm to the instrument and makes it truly unique
The killswitch is a gadget but it has the merit of being present and can be used to help prevent noise when you stop the game between each track
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a few months, bought second hand for 700 €, as new with case, value for money really great.
It's a beautiful guitar, very well finished despite the claims of all and enmity has a look!
Gibson sound and build quality for a reasonable sum is above all what was expected of her and yet it offers so much more.
It takes some getting used to her game, difficult at first but once tamed the shovel is a treat.
It must, however, change the mechanics, it is imperative! But hey, it happens on many guitars after all ... damage anyway.See less11
