This 2007 Gibson Les Paul BFG in Transparent Cherry is one of the most unique and tone-focused Les Paul designs Gibson has ever released.
The “Barely Finished Guitar” concept strips the Les Paul down to its raw essentials—delivering incredible resonance, light weight, and a powerful mix of tonal textures. Built in the USA, this model features a carved maple top over a chambered mahogany body with a thin satin finish that allows the wood to breathe freely.
The BFG’s distinctive pickup combination—a P-90 in the neck and a Burstbucker in the bridge—creates an exceptional tonal range, from warm, vintage cleans to aggressive rock crunch. The unbound rosewood fingerboard, no-pickguard design, and rugged feel give it an earthy, organic vibe that many players love. This example is in excellent condition, all original with the exception of the missing truss rod cover, and comes with a Gibson gig bag.
