Wylde BFGs


Following Gary Moore, Zakk Wylde now has his signature models in the BFG offering. However, unlike the true Gibson BFG incarnation, the ZW versions feature a humbucking neck pickup & no kill switch.

In addition to the filling up of the manufacturer's coffers, I feel the BFG manifestation is a treatment that works. If you are too perturbed by a guitar which dings easily due to a lack of a durable overcoat, it's highly likely your needs are traditional. The fundamental BFG offering serves the players who embrace a familiar working feel & tone but still preserving the key Gibson values. I bought the original BFG model because it's how my Les Paul should be, a little brighter sounding & devoid of costly aesthetics- feel & tone above everything else.
