BFG- another return

We'd all thought the Gibson Les Paul BFG had seen its demise a few years ago only to be revived as a Gary Moore version & subsequently the Zakk Wylde incarnation. This year, the Gibson people put a simple whammy bridge in lieu of its tune-o-matic original. This gets my vote as the type of change or technical tinkering in offering us variety for our considerations. Aside from the Epiphone LPs, there isn't an off-the-shelf Gibson model which sports a variant bridge. I'd give this a thumbs-up as opposed to whatever technological revamp Gibson is doing to their Firebird model.

OK, it's dinner time.
