❌SOLD❌   Gibson BFG Les Paul Model Black, 2007

The unusual Gibson BFG Les Paul Model was built from 2007 to 2011 and BFG stands for ‘Barely Finished Guitar’. This model was meant as a straight-ahead rock machine with few frills, and extremely light finish, CNC-textured ‘faux gator’ Maple top, an uncovered P-90 pickup and an uncovered Zebra Burst Bucker 3 humbucker. The wiring is also stripped down, with two volumes, master tone, 3-way switch among the controls and a 2-way kill-switch placed on the upper bout where the pickup selector normally goes.

❌SOLD❌ G&L SB-2 USA Solidbody Electric Bass Sunburst, 2007

❌SOLD❌   G&L SB-2 USA Solidbody Electric Bass Sunburst, 2007

Introduced in 1998, the G&L SB-2 bass represents a blending of Leo Fender’s two major bass designs into what’s now called a P-J configuration. The P-J concept appeared in the 1970’s as bassists, guitarists and third party companies sought ways to extend the sounds of their instruments. For bassists, an obvious step was to give a Precision Bass a Jazz Bass bridge pickup, hence the P-J designation. This setup was immediately popular and has worked its way into many production and custom instruments.
