Gibson Les Paul BFG from Gibson USA

Return to main New Gibson Models at 2007 Winter NAMM page
Return to main New Gibson Models at 2007 Frankfurt Musikmesse page

One of the most radical Les Pauls Gibson has ever made, the Les Paul BFG is a stripped-down, rock ’n’ roll machine. Blasted back to the bare essentials, the BFG is the Les Paul for guitarists who want rich, full tone and raw power. Two volume knobs and one tone knob dial in the high-powered Burstbucker 3 humbucker in the bridge position and the screaming, singlecoil P-90 in the neck position. 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—just pure tone and powerful performance.

Mahogany chambered body and unsanded maple top
Burstbucker 3 treble pickup

2 volume, 1 tone, 3-way switch, kill switch
