Modified Late 1983 Fernandes BG guitar.

This BG had its neck replaced with an Ebony fretboard that’s tremendously beautiful and make this guitar like a super boutique guitar. It really is the ultimate BG yet not uber collectible. This might feel better in every way than all the other BGs I’ve owned because of the Ebony. I think Brad would want this one for sure!

As s some of you may know I am a well-known collector of Fernandes Brad Gillis BG Guitars. Here at the AXN boutique we’ve sold near to 50 original 1980s BG Guitars an a few from the first 100 endorsed by Brad in 1983 and of those first 100 only a few had his signature on the headstock. Most of the BGs with his signature were released in 1984 and there were lots of those made and sold mostly in Japan.

The neck on this guitar has the exact same unique neck specifications as a BG 155 from the original run of Brad Gillis Fernandes signature 1983 guitars. Again this one has a beautiful black Ebony fretboard.

The original 100 BG 155s that were made for Brad Gillis came from the factory with a Fernandes Rosewood fret board. And those original 100 guitars had very specific neck specifications. Here at the AXN Boutique we’re goin on 25 years as a vintage guitar dealer and in my opinion you have a verified BG body that’s got a upgrade neck installed by a luthier and not original to the BG body. Truth b told it’s not as collectible as the first 100 BGs manufactured in 1983 yet it’s got a different flavor than the rosewoods fretboards in a very good way. So it’s never gonna bring the high prices that I regularly get for authenticated and serial numbers BGs I’ve sold but it’s just as awesome!

The 4 ply pick guard, fernandes BG unique pickup selection switching the SB300 booster is in perfect working order and the additional factory BG jack hole on the side of the guitar is visible in photos. It’s in great shape with minor digs and scratches that are shown in the pictures and this guitar rocks like a monster in every way and is one of the best Fernandes BG series type guitars I have ever owned. It’s a BG guitar with an exact era Brad Gillis NeckSpecification but Ebony! Enjoy!
