Gibson Les Paul BFG Transparent Gold 2006

Summary: 
Here we have a bit of an oddity, the Les Paul BFG was kind of the guitar no one asked for yet has become a really sought after model years after it was discontinued. With a P90 in the neck and a hum bucker in the bridge plus a kill switch you get some really unique sounds out of this guitar.

Model: BFG
Year built: 2006
Weight: 8.9lb oz  /  4kg (approx)
Hard case or Gig Bag? - No gig bag or case included. The guitar will be well packed for shipment. 

Body Condition: 7/10
From a few feet away it looks very clean. On close inspection you will find some light signs of scratches, polishing swirls, no chunks of wood missing or anything structurally, the only thing to note is a couple of small dings but nothing major please see pictures. There are a couple of small dings that can be found on the body, and the back of of the body shows some buckle rash and

Neck: 7/10 
The frets are in good condition with very very light signs of wear and tear. 
There are some tiny signs of age related wear on the Rosewood but light general wear and tear is much to be what you'd expect on a used guitar. The headstock shows a few dings in the top and a couple of small scuffs in the back of the neck, these don't impact the playability of the guitar though. Also at some point someone has changed the tuners and then put the stock ones pack on so there are 6 little drill holes in the back of the headstock.

Hardware: 6/10
The machineheads are original and in good working order, they are heavily tarnished and scratched, the same goes for the bridge and tailpiece. All hardware is original though.

Electrics: 9/10 
Sockets, pots and switches etc are wear and tear items. The electrics on this guitar have been tested and are in excellent working order, but my standard disclaimer is it's a used guitar and one must expect SOME occasional electrical 'scratching' noise, crackling and popping when adjusting pots and switches. In our opinion the electrics on this guitar exhibit less than average 'noise' in normal play but there's no guarantee how long they will stay in this condition. 

Playability:
This guitar has been lovingly set up by Jon, one of the UK's most highly regarded and experienced guitar techs. 
That doesn't mean this guitar is the best playing guitar ever, it just means that he has taken the time to set it up. Adjust the action, intonation etc so that it plays as well as can be expected and stays in tune as good as any guitar of this type does. 
We all have differing styles and demands from our instruments. Some of us like fast n low actions for fretboard burning licks, others prefer a high n mightly action for show stopping windmills and downtuned heavy riffing and everything in between. No one set up suits all!
This specific guitar has been set up sympathetically for it's style so has a fairly low action, and minimal fret buzzing.

Case: No case or bag but will be well packed for shipping. 

Priced with all of the above in mind but feel free to "make an offer".
