dbreslauer Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 i know these get some guff: they're hollow, raw, ugly, etc. I've sanded and treated the top with Tung Oil. I rewired with shielded wire and dropped in a Duncan Pearly Gates. I sanded the tailpiece and bridge (a lot!) to improve grounding. I also fitted a truss rod cover and a cap for the toggle switch. It's becoming my favorite player too: it sounds great and I am not afraid to ding it whatsoever. anyone else have a BFG? thoughts? Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbreslauer Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 i've only played a GM sig BFG and couldn't get on with it... :unsure: this guitar plays fantastic. i really like the concept of a stripped down "beater" LP, and this one in particular just feels right. my R9 gets babied, but i can beat up on this one. here's another pic, with the original pickup still in place. you can also tell how much went into improving ground on the tailpiece. Prior to sanding, it wasn't conducting at all. to each their own, of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I like my BFG a lot. I actually like the P90 and BB combination even the kill switch is handy. Mine is the week 26 custom BFG wired studio in Piano black so while it technically is fired and built as a BFG it has a complete gloss black finish and good wood so not sure it count as a real BFG. to the purist out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
