UTILIZATION

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!
