tfancil Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Here is a couple of pictures of my nearly finished BFG. I was going for the Les Paul Deluxe look. I changed all of the hardware to original Gibson nickel and the tuners are Gibson Kluson tuners with the tulip buttons. I also managed to find an original Deluxe truss rod cover. The only thing I have left to do is install some real dot inlays, which I will do in the next couple of weeks. tfancil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elessar820 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Very nice, good choice on adding dot inlays instead of the trapezoids. Personally I think the trapezoids are a bit too much, I like them but prefer dots or a single inlay if none at all. I still think the painted EMG in the neck is a nice touch. Did you do anything else to your black one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Cool guitar. A BFG with inlays? Hmm... I think my favorite BFG visual cue is the lack of any inlays. you are giving me GAS for a BFG... A-hem... I used to feel the same way Timbo... but once I got my Tele... I'm not GASsing for anything right now... maybe once you get your strat you'll be cured for life... :D Or maybe you should get a Tele :D J/K man...

Did you do anything else to your black one?[/quote'] I like both inlays but the dot inlays are way easier to install after the guitar is fretted:) Just drill a 1/4" hole, super glue them in place and sand them down. The black BFG is pretty much done also, except for the inlays, which I will install dots on it as well. Thanks, tfancil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been playing way too long with inlays as my cue to go without now:) I could probably get used to the side dots only, but on a dark stage I like to be sure I'm in the right place before the song starts! Just a crutch I guess:) tfancil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
