A new offering from Gibson. Under 1K USF by the looks of it.

A stripped-down, rock ’n’ roll flamethrower, the Les Paul BFG is the most powerful Les Paul Gibson has ever made. Blasted back to the bare essentials, the BFG is the Les Paul for guitarists who want it loud, raw, and wild. Two volumes and one tone knob control the sonic spectrum put out by a high-powered Burstbucker 3 humbucker in the bridge and a screaming, singlecoil P-90 in the neck. The traditional toggle has been rewired as a kill switch, and a mini-toggle at the volume knobs controls pickup selection. An innovative powerhouse, the BFG has no binding, no figured top, no finishing touches. This gives the BFG a distinctive look that is both modern and vintage, while allowing for a price that makes pure Les Paul performance available to all players. The result is a perfect storm of eye-catching style, incredible tone, and unbeatable playability—all at a great price. Destined to be a classic

I think it is still expensive to be sold as an affordable guitar. And it comes with an "unsanded carved top"! Wow!
I am a member on a few other forums, and the dislike for this guitar seems to be pretty much universal hah. People seem to hate it so much it actually makes them angry in some cases.

Wow that video was bad. I kinda liked the guitar but that video turned me off of it a bit. I couldn't even watch the whole thing. I did give me a lot of hope for my band though, if those guys can make it I'm gonna be bigger than the beatles!! Ok maybe not but I might get a few gigs. HA HA
