Sound Pure's Take

Weight: 7.7 lbs

Condition: Used, Excellent

 The embodiment of simplicity and minimalism! 

The BFG (Barely Finished Guitar) has everything you need from a guitar with none of the frills or bling. A tool designed to be used, not admired from afar. Good neck feel and setup coupled with quality electronics, and you're off to the races! 

From Gibson Guitars

A decidedly nontraditional Les Paul for rockers who want a Les Paul with attitude and don't care about good looks. It has the sound and playability you'd expect from an Les Paul, while its raw look stands Les Paul styling on its head: unsanded top, no binding, no pickup rings, no truss rod cover, no toggle switch rings, no fretboard position indicators (dots on the side only), with wooden knobs that have no numbers. This rough and tough guitar has sonics to match: steamy hot tones from the novel pickup combination of a single coil P-90 in the neck and a BurstBucker 3 in the bridge - like having a Les Paul Special and a Standard in one guitar.

Mini toggle pickup selection switch located near two volume and one master tone controls. Kill switch located where rhythm/lead switch used to be. "Distressed" stop bar, Tune-o-matic bridge, and Grovers complete the raw look of this very different looking Les Paul.
