Gibson BFG Les Paul £844
A lumpy, lo-fidelity Gibson with a distinct woodwork project vibe...

recently got one and love it. I did put some new knobs on it and reversed the kill switch so down is on. Amazing tone, acoustic as well as when plugged in.
Not for everyone I'll admit, but isn't that the point. -
I am going to buy this guitar just to piss off those elitists that own Les Paul bought at 2 grand and above... I love this guitar, I actually think that it is the one of the most beautiful Les Paul ever made by Gibson. And the sound just send the other Les Paul to trash!

WHAT IS THAT IN USA MONEY
-
Personally I really like the stripped down look.
A killswitch is a toggle switch on a guitar that cuts the signal to the guitar's output. This can be used for practical reasons, such as muting the guitar when it's not in use, or, more commonly for playing effect-type guitar.
Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine often uses his custom killswitch to create stuttery, experimental guitar sounds; check out his guitar work on Rage's song Know Your Enemy. -
WHAT IS A KILLSWITCH
-
If I was going to buy a Les Paul i'd really consider this - A BFG guitar for a small unfriendly guitar player! Ha ha
-
I think they should have left the toggle where it was and put the killswitch down near the vol/tone knobs and only have one of each knob.
I like the pickup configuration and the raw-ness of it.
