Members Meowy Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 $1,200 more than the original - for what? How did the BFG grow up, by getting more expensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ihavenofish Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 $1,200 more than the original - for what? How did the BFG grow up, by getting more expensive? not $1200 more. the old one had an msrp in the $1500-1600 range. still a bit much for truss covers and knobs though. im more interested in this:http://www.gibson.com/en%2Dus/divisions/gibson%20usa/products/lespaul/junior/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gorego Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 I dug the BFG's when they first came out - and I could get one for $400 less than the price of the Gary Moore in AUSTRALIAN dollars. Quick exchange rate calculation makes that almost as expensive as an LP classic down here - bang for buck not nearly as good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted November 24, 2008 Author Moderators Share Posted November 24, 2008 Gary Moore uses a killswitch? Nope, he doesn't use a BFG either:lol: Reckon it went summat like... Gibson dude: "errrr hi Gary, if we send you a free guitar can we stick your name on it? GM: Errr yea OK. Gibson dude: "thanks, bye" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GibsonGuy07 Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 All of Gibson's ideas lately seem so dated and silly. This guitar might have been "radical" in 1993 but now it's an eyesore and retarded. Sand the goddamn guitar and throw some finish, pickup rings and dot inlays on it and charge me the extra 20 bucks it costs you to make that happen.

Members GibsonGuy07 Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 IIRC, wasn't there a Studio model with dot inlays, unbound board and flame top? There may have been, but that's the point. Make a decent guitar and charge the same amount. Studios can be pretty nice looking/sounding guitars. Don't make a pile of {censored} and call it "radical" in an attempt to seem hip with the kids. The BFGs are junk they pumped out to make a few bucks. Nothing more, nothing less.
