A Stripped-down Rocker!

A stripped-down, rock 'n' roll flamethrower, the Les Paul BFG is the most powerful Les Paul Gibson has ever made. Blasted back to the bare essentials, the BFG with Tremolo is the Les Paul for guitarists who want it loud, raw, and wild. Two volumes and one tone knob control the sonic spectrum put out by a high-powered Burstbucker 3 humbucker in the bridge and a screaming, single-coil P-90 in the neck. There may be no better pickup combination in the world than the P-90 and the humbucker. The P-90 produces a clean, bell-like tone that gets crunchy when you really lean into it. The humbucker sounds big and fat. Together, they form the ultimate in rock guitar tone - a huge sound with a lot of bite. The traditional toggle has been rewired as a kill switch, and a toggle at the treble tone knob's controls pickup selection. An innovative powerhouse, the BFG with Tremolo has no binding, no figured top, no finishing touches. This gives the BFG a distinctive look that is both modern and vintage, while allowing for a price that makes pure Les Paul performance available to all players. The Les Paul BFG with Tremolo is truly a unique Les Paul, and it's got a mean bark!
