Every guitar player needs a Les Paul like this! It's no-nonsense and looks like it means business! I always wanted a P-90 equipped LP for lead guitar work and this BFG delivers! Too bad they discontinued it for 2019.
Sound
Classic growl and piercing lead tones really cut through the mix. The P-90s really push and give standard humbuckers a run for the money.
Features
Same LP style controls, 2 volume, 2 tone knobs, 3-way selector switch. Should be familiar to any LP player.
Ease of Use
Super light with a great neck. Higher frets are pretty easy to get to. Aside from the looks, it is a straightforward rock n' roll beast.
Quality
The only issue was some poor wiring in the bridge pick up volume pot. A $10 dollar fix, but I was very surprised that this occurred. Overall, the looks are striking with a sound to match.
Value
A bit pricey for what it is: a BFG (Barely Finished Guitar). That's as much as a high-end Les Paul studio that is complete! If it wasn't being discontinued, I probably would have passed on it. I am happy with it, don't get me wrong!

The Wow Factor
Searing lead tones from the P-90s and a striking look. This is ultimately a lead guitarist's workhorse!
