Gibson Les Paul BFG

my one is a standerd trans gold as opposed to one of the limited edition finished modles it has a burst bucker bridge pick up and p90 neck pickup + kill switch + two volume and one tone knob, 3 way pickup toggle. one of the coolist features are the plexi glass eletrics covers. as standered if you buy one you should get a gibson hardcase, if not you have been conned
to be honest i did not buy this guitar to be all singing all danceing i got it because it is simple and honest

i have heard people really been critcal about the sound from the bfg but i have found it to be fantastic. unamped it has a great natural resonence very warm and errm... woody sound (sorry). amped up and with a spade full of distortion it really rocks. with the chambered body feedback comes easy which i have read people complain about but it is a rock machine IT IS A GOOD THING and if your not a compleat plonker can be controled, just dont stand so near the amp. i play mostly heavy rock or prog rock ( ac dc, pink floyed, metallica etc)and this guitar can cope with most styles of music so it is a good work horse. i have read alot of reviews from people that have changed the pickups but the stock pickups are still resonble and worth keeping although i am thinking of change for mine. bottem line this guitar sounds great for the money and weather you like the look of it or not the sound (+ the playibility more on that later) is the most important thing.

now this is where things get complicated there seems to be eather good or bad bfg's mine is a very good bfg the shop where i bought it set it up for free and if you shop around you will find plenty of dealers who will do this. because the guitar design is that it is unfinished and rough complaints about lack of binding and the like are pointless but my one for some reason came with a truss rod cover and the plastic toggle on the pickup selector i would not have complained if i did not get them because you are not ment to but if you have a model that dose not have these things its no big deal. i have read alot of reviews that complain about the frets, wobbly hard wear and electrics, and general roughness so try befor you buy if you find a good one it will be well worth the money. i do have some critisium about my model there are some areas of bad workmanship. the dot markers are covered in the stain that they used on the body + i have a very rough patch where the neck meets the body small and easily sorted out but if you pay ??600 for a guitar you expect better for this reason i will mark this guitar down and i can understand why some buyers will rate this guitar low if they buy crap one. which is a shame because this is a great guitar if you get a good one. i would like to note that because the neck is not lackered your hand dose not get stuck to it this is great and makes this guitar very playible as a matter of fact i give this guitar a 9 and a half for playibilty.

this is a gibson it is not going to fall apart on stage if you have a sound one like me then it should outlive you and your children and your childrens children...etc you get the picture. the rough finish on it means that giveing it a dink is not a prob so great for energetic solos (we have all done it).
i do have to ask the question of gibson is why have they put such crapy strap buttons on it i mean for a couple of extra pounds you could have had half decent strap buttons i think this is very mean of gibson. gibson sort it out!

i have never had to deal with gibson which is proberly a good sign if i have a prob with a guitar i would normually take it back to the dealer that reminds me i have not even bothered looking at the warranty opps

i have been playing for 6 years this is my third guitar i also own a jackson and a cheap ibanez and is by far my best guitar i love the rough look of it and the great sounds and playibilty im not a big fan of flash shiney guitars so this suits me just fine it has quite a unique look so it stands out from your average les paul i wanted to get one in the natural finish but could not find so i had to settle for the trans gold (not that bad really). i love the way that it feels and smells (im not pervert honest)and the woodern Knobs are cute i was orangily going to buy a framus renagade pro (also a very good guitar) which proberly have been better value for money but it was the styling that won me over i will proberly buy a framus next. i think that i done the right thing in buying this guitar it is great fun and i can not put it down despite recently breaking my wrist and being in a cast if it was lost or stolen i would save up and buy it again it really is that good if you like your guitars properly finished this may not be the guitar for you but it is worth considering that the finished equivlent will cost you alot more and will look just like any other les paul also because of the chambered body it is a lot lighter then ...well most guitars. i could have bought a fender standered strat but they and copies are very commen(still a good buy for a real one) . my advice is try befor you buy i think you will be converted at the end of the day it sounds great and plays great which for any musical instrement is the most important thing. enjoy

Same as everyone else's. My wife purchased mine through Sweetwater Sound in Indiana as a Christmas present. Despite the drawn out drama with Gibson, Sweetwater was awesome to deal with. Thanks Mike!!

I play more rock and pop so the bridge pickup was too thin for me so I replaced it with a 498T. That was definitely an improvement for my taste. The P90 is definitely warm and smooth, howbeit very noisy. Definitely more "woody" sounding than the Standard that I've borrowed from a friend and not as solid. I'm playing it through pedals into a Solo 50 and it's string definition is not as defined as I'd prefer. It does excel on the high gain channel of my Boogie.

This is the third BFG that I ended up with. The first one had a crack in the neck under the fretboard. The second one had a finish so rough that my shirt sleeve stuck to the body and was stained so poorly (lack of). This third one came and I settled on it because I was told that Gibson was discontinuing the line except for the "Limited". It was badly in need of attention. The action was atrocious, the bridge pickup was missing a spring, the frets were pitted and sharp, and the intonation was horrible. But because of who gave it to me I was determined to keep it and use it. I sent it to Michael at Best Frets (in California... I'm in Michigan) who did an awesome job on the fretwork and pickup installation. But even after all of that, it still won't stay in tune solidly. My American Strat (that I paid half the price of this BFG) is waaay more reliable than the BFG. For this being a $950+ axe, it's not worth half the money my wife paid for it. I recently played a Korean model that was 200 times better... which is sad because I'm trying to stay American with all my instruments.

Like I said... it won't stay in tune. As for durability... time will tell. It feels like it's parts will hold up physically.

As with any company, it's hit or miss there. My first contact was met with excuses and insinuations that it was something I was doing wrong. My wife's contact also could not understand our predicament and my wife was regretful about getting me this BFG. My final contact was more knowledgeable, sympathetic (This gentleman sounded like he actually played), and had solutions.

Having been more reliant on my Martin D-28 and Strat made me see that Gibson's attention to detail lies only where it will benefit them. That is sad considering that I've always viewed American instruments as the superior. I will definitely not be purchasing another Gibson in the near future based on this experience.

I bought this guitar yesterday from Alto Music in Middletown, NY, and got it for $799 w/case, a much better deal than any of the online music catalog houses. They all charge $969 for it. What's up with that? Price fixing? They all suck, IMO. Support your local independent Gibson retailer instead.

Other people have detailed the guitar's features, so I won't.

This guitar suits me just fine in every way. It's exactly what Gibson's propaganda says; a rock n' roll flamethrower. There's nothing pretty about it; the BFG is one mean, bad***, nasty-sounding guitar in every way. It's amazing cranked up with plenty of distortion, but you can play clean country licks as well. Harmonics jump right out of the treble humbucker, and the neck P-90 is great too. Right way, I can tell I'm gonna love this guitar for a LONG time.

This guitar is rough and ready, unrefined and stripped down. That's what it is and nothing more. The factory setup is OK, the neck is straight and I love the snakeskin looking carved top in the black finish. The fretboard is a little dried out, but I'll take care of that when I change the strings this week. The A/F/F is about as good as it gets for a guitar that's supposed to look unfinished and raw.

I think it should last a long time. Don't see why not. The strap buttons are miniscule. I wish Gibson would stop using these idiotic buttons and get something larger.

I have spoken to Gibson C/S on occasion and they were cool. Overall though, I think that Gibson's CEO, "King Henry" Juszkiewicz, is an arrogant jerk who's ideas and philosophies are in danger of hurting the company in the long run. He has priced most of their guitars beyond the reach of the average player, and he treats many of his better indie dealers like crap in favor of GC, MF, and the other big box ********. With the BFG and the Billie Joe LP Junior, which I also own, they did something right for a change. Both are great values for the money.

I am digging this guitar a LOT and will use it on the gig next weekend. It's everything I thought it would be and more. I love the kill switch. I plan to add a pickup cover for the P-90, a ring around the humbucker, and different knobs, as well as larger strap buttons. The chambered body makes it very light, a welcome relief from some of my past Les Pauls, one of which weighed almost 12 pounds! because it's chambered, it generates feedback pretty easily, which I use onstage.

2008 Bullion Burst, very heavy metal looking to me.
kill switch/ 2 vol/ 1 tone/ p90/ burst bucker
Chambered body/stripped down Rock machine

Yes, the sound, Maybe its the lack of paint and clear coat on the wood, but this guitar sings like none other,It just has a diff tone to it,open like it breaths... I think its the chambered body and no paint, allowing the wood to breath.Tons of sustain,pinch harmonics effortlessly,I am playing it thru Diezel Herbert/Splawn Nitro/Marshall DSL/ Mesa Triple recto, thru Basson 4x12 cabinets. It just sounds different.Ive have several and had several other gtrs to compare it to...I love its tone...

Heres what Sucks about this...
kill switch noisey when set to off,unless your hand is on strings or metal
definately needs a Fret dress and crowning the frets, I like the rounded feel on frets and these are like railroad tracks.Wooden knobs ...took them right off.
I love the rough n raw finish,I play my guitars I dont look at them,I try to keep them nice but they get nicked up, and this one will blend right in!

everything breaks.............

Yes,It was worth the coin,chambered body and lack of paint,I think lets it breath unlike other guitars.....Hard Rock at its Best!

Interesting pickup selection
NO truss rod, pickup surrounds, washers or any binding. For the sake of ??5 I bought a truss cover and some washers - it looks lovely now. I didnt bother with pup covers and surrounds though - it actually detracted from the look when I tried it!

Love the pickups - the main reason I bought this was to get a different sound to my Les Paul with 57 Classics in, and it does this beautifully. The burstbucker gives a crunchier, 'bitier' (yes, that IS a word...) sound than the 57s, and the P90 has a really deep almost hollow feel to it. Beautiful.
You can get a real variety of sounds from it as well.

My favourite setting at the moment is to have the toggle in the middle, with the P90 rolled back to 20% and the bucker on 100%

The kill switch however is blinking useless. The only advantage of it that I have found is that it means the pup selector switch is now down by the volume knobs, so I dont accidentally change pup when I get carried away - and that does happen on my other LP!

I bought this 2nd hand, but the guy had only had it 4 weeks. He said the shop had set it up - whether they did or not I dont know, but it was absolutely perfect. No kidding - I've never picked a guitar up in a shop that was just right. This was.
I've only come across one other guitar that felt as nice and that one had undergone a full setup and fretdress.

The one thing I really love about this guitar is the finish. I really wasnt expecting to - I'd seen lots of pics on the net and thought "urgh - I'm not paying for an unfinished guitar"
But it was cheap so I went for it - so glad I did. Without the lacquer, paint, gloss sheen etc, the guitar feels really woody. The neck is awesome - the back feels really comfortable and you can actually smell the wood. It just adds something to it.

I would gig this without backup. Feels solid, yet mercifully lighter than a standard LP.
The finish is neither here nor there for durability as it is hardly there to start with.
This is what I'd call a 'working guitar' - pick it up and play it, enjoy it, and dont worry about getting carried away and knocking it!

I've heard Gibson support is bad, but I've never had to deal with them yet!

OK. Been playing 25 years, had many Epiphones, Squiers, Westones etc etc etc - only recently decided I wanted a genuine Gibson. I was really really surprised with this guitar - it was ??400 so too good to miss for a proper Gibbo, but I wasnt expecting much. But when I picked it up and played it I fell in love with it.
I really wish that the pics on the net hadnt put me off buying one last year. They arent for everybody - they do look a bit rough. My brother commented "Its definitely 'you'..." when he saw it, what with it being all black wood, black metal, bare pups and so on.

I love it.

I am putting this review in here to add my opinion but also to tell about some modifications I have made that IMHO make this guitar a 10.

Trans red. Most of the features have been gone thru already. P90 and a Burstbucker 3. Kill switch where the pic-up selector usually is. One tone, 2 volumes, and a pick-up selector where the usual 2nd tone knob is. Pick-up selector is tiny. Cool white plush hsc. Unshielded wiring inside. 9 because of the wiring and small pick-up selector.

Love the sound of this guitar. P90 is great sounding clean. Play in a rock cover band that does 4-5 gigs a year. For the clean work,use this pick-up. Not as good distorted alone, kinda gets muddy. Both pick-ups together distorted sound fantastic for rock, the combo is amazing. then the burstbucker alone for leads or hard rock, punk rock and i guess even some metal but I don't play much metal.
Incredible sustain. Longest of any of my guitars. (PRS, Gibsons and American fenders).
Alternate between Orange rocker 30 and Fender twin reverb with a seymour duncan twin tube distortion pedal in front depending on my mood.

Action was fantatic.
P90 is a good distance from the strings and the Burstbucker is closer, which contributes to the BB being much louder, but not abnormaly so. It works well for switching to leads or changing the volume during a song from the verse to the chorus (which is usually louder and more overdriven) then back to the verse.
Finish: BFG (barely finished guitar). I love the look. We have done quite a few work party gigs and all the 'guitar lay people' (ie the people who have never heard of Gibson or Fender - I know- blasphemy
!) there love it, says it looks like snake skin.

Live playing: rock solid. Take it to all my gigs.
One problen that I alluded to above was the unshielded wiring. Makes the guitar when not playing but the distortion is on on the amp. VERY LOUD and noisey. Only turns quiet if you put your finger on some metal part of the guitar. Anoying.
I took it the local guitar repair person and had him put Gibson shielded wire in it for 50 bucks. Still with the kill switch.
It is perfect now. Very very quiet, even with the gain turned all the way up just the slightest, very slightest hum and goes completely away with the kill switch activated.

I suppose I would just go to the local shop where I bought it if there were any serious problems.

Finally, I put a little plastic knob on the pick-up selector to make it a little bigger, so that it would be easy to switch pick-ups during a gig.

I have many other guitars. I play in a cover band for fun but have a good job with enough play money to try various guitar. I have been thru many; this, although less expensive, is one of the best. To most gigs now I bring my BFG and my 335. 335 for blues songs and mostly rhythm playing songs and BFG for more lead, clean(p90) and harder rock, punk and really crunchy songs. Love it.

les paul bfg,if you dont know what it is check it out first before you think of buying it;;

hard rock me,gary moore,slash,zep, and all the other bitz n bobbs,
marshall dsl 401 and 2 12 1936 cab,bb3 pup
is a piece of ****, p 90 is a bit noisey but to be fair its a single coil for goddsake; do yourself a favour and throw that tinny lil bb3 thing out and put a good seymore in; put a pup surround in too as you will wreck the humbucker,this guitar can do the buisiness, ive been playing for 25years, got a les paul classic that will tear the pants off any guitar that ive played for a long time,that ** is going to the grave with me!get one! got a 137 too and thats a bad boy too,had a gibbo black beauty and sold the piece of crap!buy mid range guitars,hi end guitars are a waste of money,trust me,fab to have but effing ussless,you can get better fun from low,mid range and not worry about the dings and cash loss! THIS GUITAR NEEDS LEMON OIL ON THE FRET BOARD,but after that this girl is an ugly duckilng but so much TONE that you are missing out if you buy something else,studios are a dead mans guitar,no sustain! this thing sings

action was mega mega high,but a little messing around(not pro) can get it super low and fast if thats your thing,(this guitar is not a shredder by any any any means!!!!!) factory wise it was ok, it is meant to look flawed,the kill switch,IS WIRED THROUGH THIE CHAMBERED BODY CAUSING LOTS OF NOISE, IF YOU DID WHAT I DID AND PUT THE THREE WAY SWITCH BACT TO WHERE IT BELONGS YOU WILL BE SINGING;;BAD FLAW ON THIS BUT EASY FIXED,stays in tune well thanks to the grovers,bone nut (bit sharp as per the fret board)

live playing no hassle for this gem;
hardware is gibson,course its gonna last;
unfinished ugly thing,but durable,no probs with the odd ding or two;
same old crap with the strap buttons,get em changed;
dont see why not this guitar is not dependable,after all its a gibbo;i would never use any guitar wuthout a backup;thats a silly thing to ask any gigging guitar player

gibson have always responded to me emails,no probs there

to be honest this guitar is just a mess about for me as i got the classic and 137,i wanted something different and boy did i get it,if it were stolen or lost then who knows;; all i know is i got now and we are both having some fun.that p90 is screamin

It's suits my style great, i really like the sound of the guitar.
It sound great through my Marshall amp. I use the guitar for Classic Rock, Modern Rock, Rock-Pop, Rock Blues, Blues, Punk, Pop and a few other styles.
I think the pickups can be noisy, but it depends on what environment you are playing. For example, i gigged in a rock caf?? in town where it wasen't noisy. But when i play in the rehursle room it can be noisy, the difference is the amp that you are using.
The sound is rich, full, bright. I really like the tone.
It can make any noise! The variety is great!

Overall, the guitar rocks! I really like it. The only thing that in my opinion can be changed is :
- The p90 is a bit louder than the Burstbucker #3, it needs some adjusting.
- I think I'm gonna remove the kill switch because I'm not using it actually.

This Guitar is a good guitar for the price, and it just rocks away!
I'll will keep it with me for a very long time.

-The set-up was fine when I got this guitar, it wasen't adjusting in the factory but another bloke did it for me.

- The pickups needs some adjusting in my opinion, the p90 is a bit louder than the humbucker in the brigde.

- Overall the guitar is setup well.

- This guitar does not contains any flaws at all!

I think this guitar will last for ever. I've played live with it and it rocks as hell!
The hardware is destressed, but it will last for ever.
The Finish is really nice and it looks modern and vintage in one. You don't really have to care if the finish wears off.
I replaced the strap buttons with Schaller Strap Locks. I Think every guitar needs strap locks because, I would kill myself if I dropped it on the floor.
I think that I can rely on this guitar without having any trouble.

The guitar is Rock Solid!
I would use this guitar on a gig without backup, but I have a few other guitars, and I bring them with me all the time.

I have not dealed with the company jet.
But I think that if you have some trouble with this guitar, Gibson will help you out the best way they can.
Gibson just rocks!

- I've been playing for 6 years now, I use a very good Marshall amp, i own a Line6 spider amp aswell, which also rocks. I own a Squier 51 which rocks aswell.

- If this guitar was stolen I'd get another Gibson Les Paul for sure. I'm not sure if it will be this guitar but definatly a Gibson Les Paul.

-I love the guitar for it's attitude, sound, perfect playing, reliability and feel of this particular guitar. My favorite feature is the p90 pickup in the brigde. It just totally rocks!

- I compared it with a few other guitars, but i fell in love with this Gibson, I love it!

I think this guitar is a very good price/quality guitar. Gibson does not make cheap guitars, but this one is pretty cheap for it's quality. I love and I will play it every day.

Thanks for reading.

Check Gibsons website for an in depth description of features..I imagine anyone interested in this guitar knows what it is by now..Mine is a limited edition in the INK Blue color..Looks incredible.Deep, round neck..Feels dry and I like that...very smooth fretwork..Mine came with the case

Ok...Honestly...With the stock P90 and the Gibson Burstbucker 3 this guitar looked incredible and sounded quite honestly like ASS! Great guitar, terrible pickups! I was soooo disappointed when i heard it through several amps including my Peavey Classic 100 and Mesa Boogie tremoverb...The P90 sounded like a giant mushball..No top end at all..No definition..The burstbucker 3 was unbelievably shrill..Thin..Almost unusable..I set out to change that...Changed the Neck pickup to a Dimarzio P90 dlx DP162..And the bridge to a tried and true Fender/Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates plus.WOW!..Now this guitar sounds as good as it looks! I also changed both volume and tone pots to 5ook pots..I love it now!

The action is superb out of the box...I did change the strings from 10's to 11's..Huge improvement in tone as well..And the finish is amazing...I like to think of it as Gibsons answer to the Fender Custom Shop Relics..this guitar even smells great!

Ok well, my 5 year old daughter decided to kick this guitar over by accident...It bounced off my computer desk, hit 2 large legs of a wood chair and landed with a terrorizing thud..Without a scratch!..Whew close call! This guitar seems tough ..

Called Gibson with a few questions...my questions were answered by a real live person within minutes..Nice!

Im a professional guitarist/instructor/songwriter..been playing for 35 years..I highly reccommend this guitar if you dont mind changing the pickups..To me, its a must do on this guitar...This guitar can be very versatile...Definately a great guitar for any modern rock styles..

black 2007 model, includes the toggle tip and truss rod cover unlike earlier models.
neck p90 and bridge Burstbucker3,thin nitro finish on a roughed in body, but not too rough. neck is smooth as silk.
case and some extras like the truss rod wrench. grover tuners, distressed black hardware. and a chambered body. not weight relieved but actually chambered. this adds some "wood" to the tone.
the neck is supposed to be a round 50's carve but i think mine is a tad less thick.

i love the tone, unplugged it is woody and full, why nobody bothers to check their guitars out this way is shocks me. a pickup will only tweak your guitars natural tone not change it. the guitar is definately not thin sounding. the only tone problem i have is the kill switch has a slight ground problem that appears at higher gain settings when in the off position.a better quality switch should fix that.
amped up through my Orange Tiny Terror it is full and ballsy and capable of nice cleans, although the Tiny Terror likes pumping crunch more than anything.the BB3 is brighter than your standard muddy bucker which i really appreciate. coupled with the chambered body i no longer have to deal with the annoying excessive low E dominance. the meat is there for heavier stuff but now it is more balanced.
the p90 is awesome, p90's are anyway..noise? well yeah but it is a p90 get over it. there isn't much this can't handle with the right amps.
i play everything from metal to skanky funky stuff, the BFG delivers. if you find it a hair bright just roll back the tone duh, the tone is actually useful on this unlike some guitars that would be better with the tone pot totally removed.
i dislike nothing except the cheaper kill switch and slight resonance of the pickup height adjustment springs. but they aren't as annoying as a strats trem springs chiming when you want silence.

on the negative side i only have slight issues with the fret ends, they do not tear at you but they are a 8.5 on a scale of 1-10 for smootness.
Gibson included a standard setup, i would prefer slightly lower action on the bass side and a bit more height on the treble, more uniform height. the bb3 was lower than my preference and was over powered by the slightly too high p90. the p90 is in the neck position and doesn't need alot of height to bark loudly.
as for finish..you are kidding right? this is probably the only new guitar that you will NOT get money knocked off because of a scratch or dent HA.
it may be basic but it is perfect IMHO. i dislike uber shiny guitars.
the chambered body is resonant and light without being neck heavy. i am unsure of the string gauge, they may be light top heavy bottoms. Gibson says 10's but i suspect the store had strung it up after shipping. i plan on slapping some 11's on here anyway. it practically plays itself. i believe Gibson should start adding straplocks to LP's the front strap button is located in a place that allows the strap to fall off to easily.

live playing no problem solid hardware and a satin finish that will get smoother with handling.
strap locks are a very needed item.
i can depend on this 100%
i probably could gig without a backup seeing i take extra good care of my gear and never break strings. change your strings often, clean your guitar and KEEP it in the case when you are not playing and avoid scratchy pots, dead and broken strings and headstocks.

never dealt with them.

i have been playing 30 years and have used a load of guitars.
i do a lot of recording with my band mates and friends.
presently i am using a Tiny Terror into a yamaha 4x12 but another cab is on my radar. i occasionally use a 20 yr old Rat for extra boost. GOOD cables and dunlop 3.0 mm Big Stubby picks.
i formerly had a Vintage Mahogany LP and a Faded SG,both were not as nice tonally as this. the VM lp was major bottom heavy in tone and i struggled to get sweet cleans from the BB pros. i tried several axes ( PRS se one, LP vintage mahogany , LP menace, LP studio and a SG standard) in store to compare with the BFG and i am sorry to say they were weak compared to this. the SG standard was close but i wanted the LP tone not another SG. the SG will be at a later date, don't tell my wife heh heh.
i love everything about this beast, a pure rocker that can do cleans.if this guitar was a woman it would be Canadian rocker Biff Naked.
if you are looking for Pamela Anderson get help and look somewhere else.
this guitar deserves a 10 for value. it has the goods where it counts.. all killer no filler.
