ProcessA smooth coat of satin nitrocellulose is applied over the entire guitar, ensuring less interference with the natural vibration of the instrument — producing a purer tone — and allowing the wood to breathe and age naturally and properly over the course of its life. In addition, the flattening agent used to reduce the shine on this guitar yields a faster neck
SpeciesThe neck of the BFG Bass is constructed from a solid piece of Grade-C mahogany, the hands-down best choice for players who demand a strong but lightweight neck. Before becoming “putty” in the hands of Gibson’s skilled craftsmen, the mahogany is milled and cut to a highly desirable “quarter sawn” wood grain orientation and then kiln dried until it has reached optimum moisture levels
I really do prefer the look of a classic Les Paul. The 3 p.u.'s configuration seems interesting. I guess we'll soon get a review from Frankfurt...(ist das so Uwe?).http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Bass/Gibson-USA/BFG-Bass.aspx
I love the 3 pup idea, but I'm just not a fan of the finish! Maybe I should try building one!
