United States Gibson
22 medium frets
P90 sleeve Burstbucker III bridge
Tune-o-matic with stop bar
2 volumes
1 tone
A toggle switch 3 positions instead of the usual second tone
A kill switch (circuit breaker) in place of the toggle switch
sleeve type fat neck (a little thinner than 50s), not varnished, as the body also, the return of Gibson in the world of innovation and beauty please, even if Reverse the position of the switches is in my opinion a mistake.
Note also the beauty of the instrument (although I heard that everyone did not share my opinion). The carved table (red on mine) reminded the choice of curly maple or "a sea of blood with small waves, but in a lighter color, not really like blood" (my girlfriend, artist).
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.
