Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

Not a very good choice, Gibson didn't hit the target with Limited Edition Les Paul BFG. A lots of features missing or not done the way most musicians would like, and the price is not attracting people to buy this guitar either.

A lot of people would like to see more features in Gibson's Limited Edition Les Paul BFG as is on a lower level features-wise, when compared to other guitars. Some musicians are disappointed with features that Limited Edition Les Paul BFG provides, but not everybody feels that way. Overall feeling is that Gibson could have thrown in a bit more in this guitar and made it more versatile.

You could find a better fitted guitar, but Limited Edition Les Paul BFG is ready to be played by any musician willing to take time and adjust it to his/her needs. Gibson built a guitar that has nice finish but it lacks something that would make it feel even better. Guitar stays in tune reasonably well, if you don't force it too much, and the Limited Edition Les Paul BFG's neck is playable.

Good for practicing, Limited Edition Les Paul BFG might not be the best solution for live playing. You should be aware of Limited Edition Les Paul BFG's capabilities and always be careful, as you don't want it to bail out on you in the middle of the show. Gibson's Limited Edition Les Paul BFG should be considered a good guitar, but also be aware of its price and quality range.
