Hahahhaa. I think Jesus himself cuts those for him. Does his wiring special for him too. Holy Mojo Toanzzzzzzz.
Also - played some Gibson Burstbuckers in a Les Paul over the weekend, and those things were surprisingly super bright. I didn't care for 'em exactly, but pretty articulate for a LP with HB's in it. I still like the Fender WRHB's better though.

It's a Gibson BFG with a P90 in the neck and a BurstBucker3 in the bridge.

I used to GAS after those BFGs so hard. Maybe one day I'll find one to buy for myself..

Thinking of humbuckers till it hurts
I know you hurt too but what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile and my heart
For times when my life feels so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know
I'm all out of humbuckers, I'm so lost without humbuckers
I know you were right believing for so long
I'm all out of humbuckers, what am I without humbuckers
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong
I want humbuckers to come back and carry me home
Away from this long lonely nights
I'm reaching for humbuckers, are you feeling it too
Does the feeling seem oh so right
And what would you say if I called on humbuckers now
And said that I can't hold on
There's no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone
I'm all out of humbuckers, I'm so lost without humbuckers
I know you were right believing for so long
I'm all out of humbuckers, what am I without humbuckers
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong
Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
loved this

The BFG really surprised me. It got some pretty awful reviews, but I played one when they first came out and it was a pretty unique guitar. that neck P90 was killer.

Total blues rock machine, IMHO, and they totally marketed it to the wrong crowd. Don't remember the ad for the BFG? Here it is:
