2007 Gibson BFG Les Paul Signed by Les Paul Transparent Cherry

No sales tax for customers outside California.

Own a truly rare and historic piece of guitar history with this 2007 Gibson BFG Les Paul, finished in Faded Transparent Cherry and hand-signed by the legendary Les Paul himself.

The guitar is in great shape and weighs just 6 pounds, 11 ounces.  The only changed part is the truss rod cover.  There are no new screw holes, so just one screw holds that part in place.  The original case and paperwork is included.

Combining raw tone with stripped-down style, the BFG (Barely Finished Guitar) is one of Gibson’s most unique Les Paul models—and this particular example is a collector’s dream, bearing the authentic signature of the man who revolutionized the electric guitar.

This USA-made Gibson Les Paul BFG features a mahogany body with a carved maple top, a 50s-style rounded mahogany neck, and a rosewood fingerboard. Its tone is just as bold as its looks, thanks to a powerful Burstbucker 3 humbucker in the bridge and a P-90 single-coil in the neck—a unique pickup pairing that delivers everything from gritty blues to hard rock with attitude.

Unlike traditional Les Pauls, the BFG has an ultra-satin, textured top with minimal finishing, exposed wiring channels, and simplified electronics, offering a stripped-down aesthetic with serious sonic character. The transparent cherry finish gives the wood grain room to shine, and Les Paul's signature on the top makes this a true one-of-a-kind piece.
