Gibson has made a little re-design of its classic Les Paul with the release of the Gibson Les Paul BFG. The guitar is mainly for rock players who want a wild and raw sound.
The main innovations of this Les Paul BFG are the pickups (features a P-90 at the neck and a Burstbucker 3 Zebra humbucker in the bridge, instead of classic humbuckers), volume and tone knobs (2 volume and 1 tone instead of 2 volume and 2 tone knobs, and they are wood knobs) and pickup switch (the switch has been rewired as a kill switch and a mini-toggle has been added to control pickup selection).
Besides the innovations, the Les Paul BFG features maple top (with mahogany body), mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, 24.75” scale length, tune-o-matic bridge and 22 classic frets.
The Les Paul BFG is available in Trans Cherry, Trans Black and Trans Gold colors, being the black, one of the cooler finishes for a Les Paul. The price has to be announced yet but Gibson assures this guitar will made Les Paul performance available to all players. We will see.
