“My first guitar was a Gibson Melody Maker ¾ size and I still have it along with a Gibson Skylark amp. That was over 35 years ago! My current Gibson's are Lesters: a Custom and a '59 reissue, but now they can stay safe at home thanks to my new BFG. This is the axe I now use on stage in my band Beyond Reason. I live and play on the beaches of the Florida panhandle and these elements can really test your instrument. I truly believe this guitar will withstand this test! I love the light weight but don't let that fool you—she delivers a heavy tone! The comments I get on the finish have it unanimously called a "snakeskin" look. I also never saw the need for a kill switch until I used it to end some songs, and bang, you nail that classic rock ending every time! I'm really having a blast with this guitar!”
