Description
The True Historic Series from Gibson Custom feature replica-level detail, from plastics recreated based on lab analysis of original 50's parts, to double-carved top and neck profiles and thin, hand-sanded finishes, they are the most complete, accurate and refined recreations of the guitars that form the mid-century legend of Gibson's solid body range.
By 1956, the promise of Gibson's first solid body guitar model, the Les Paul, was beginning to emerge and evolve into a new standard in guitars.
Today's True Historic replica of the 1956 Goldtop features the original's lightweight aluminum tailpiece and adjustable Tune-O-Matic bridge for reliable play, and that throaty, open tone only two P-90's can deliver.
It's back and it's badass! The 2018 BFG from Gibson is a fully upgraded version of the now legendary model introduced over 10 years ago.
Loaded with P-90 pickups for classic Gibson tones and screaming leads this BFG also boasts refinements not seen on this guitar before such as a truss rod cover and classic Gibson controls.
Wearing its unique look with pride the 2018 BFG is the fast, easy playing beast that will set you out from the crowd.
