Anyway, I think it's a pretty good guitar. It's good value for a Les Paul, but considering all the stuff that they didn't do on it, the price may be a little high. The pickups are great, high output humbucker and a sweet P-90, although it's got 60-cycle hum.

Downisdes: The strap buttons HAVE to be replaced. They are like pinheads, I couldn't play it for five minutes without the strap coming off at the neck end. Also, the neck is huge. But still quite shred-friendly in an odd way. But you do have, like on all Pauls, very bad fret access.

lolz wow i like that one...hmmm i really like gibson les pauls this one seems to be calling me..or maybe it wants to rape me..i don't know anywayz...i don't like the "unfinished" idea so much.. i'd get it painted or something..and sanded and what not...but if they say it has to be the greatest sounding i hope they surely mean it for reals.

yeah I don't really like it either, i'll probably catch some flak for this but i'd probably rather throw the cash onto a prestige ibanez

i always wanted a les paul some friends had one and i played a bunch of different ones but when it came down to it at the end I ended up getting a PRS McCarty instead

It's a raw Les Paul which does the job, isn't pretentious and you don't feel as bad about making mods to it. I can see myself putting my own personal touches to this and really making it my guitar.

I've really posted as I wanted to add my comments to others bemoaning the lack of quality in recently made Gibsons. A friend bought a beautiful looking standard in tobacco burst direct from the USA. I was amazed when I picked it up as his guitar must weigh half that of the BFG. I don't know if they're using cheaper, less dense wood but the BFG is a big lump of mahogany and as such has a lovely tone and sustain that his guitar cannot match, despite costing three times as much. Anyone else found this?
