The Les Paul BFG is a very affordable & rather popular Gibson available currently. Before you deem yourself to be the victim of some scam, please understand the philosophy of its production; it's a very stripped down, fundamental Gibson, displaying some crude finishing which would offend the players who feel that they should be getting a better deal for this asking price ($1,699). These are selected quirks that you should be aware of:
There is a chunk of wood missing between the fretboard & the chamfered cutaway area. I initially thought it was the exclusive blemish of this particular model but a quick check with others revealed the same peculiarity. As the P-90 pickup is coverless, it looks shrunk in that cavity.
As you can see here, the kill switch is either smaller than the production cavity or this contraption doesn't align itself well against the measurements.
The toggle switch cap is also not provided by the manufacturer; it's not missing & by no means the fault of the seller (be it the individual in the after-market or the dealer in the first instance).
