Title: BG's for metal
Post by: braintheory on January 08, 2011, 08:57:42 AM

From what I heard the BG 50's can do modern metal?  What about the other three BG tele pu's?  I don't see why they can't, but for some reason BK's website only has a metal clip for the BG 50's.

The BG50's in the new version have - looking at the eq-charts - more output and more bass/less treble. I reckon they will drive an amp harder and the clips shows it does metal not bad at all. The old BG50 is now the '52-set, but like Roy Fulto demo's they can rock/scream too. I don't think this set is the first choice for metal, but it's versatile for lots of styles. The 55 and 68-sets sound thinner and more twangy. If you want a Tele on steroids the new BG50's are very appealing.
