No Compromises,
Just Pure Rock!

The GX1-Pro Custom Bengal features a stunning, hand-painted Retro Bengal finish: vivid metallic white-to-orange tiger graphic, all on an alder body and back of the neck. While your audience is downing some Jack & Jam'son, with this Badlands, you'll be the real eye of the tiger amongst the stage smoke & mist—commanding pure envy from every guitarist in the crowd. **or** While your audience is downing some Jack & Jam'son, with this Badlands, you'll be the real eye of the tiger amongst the stage smoke & mist—and they'll hate you 'cause they ain't you. (I like both – pick whichever you like best). 

 

This new run debuts an all-new neck-through-body design, finished in sleek matching color with an ebony fingerboard. The board is adorned with our signature BGC Railroad Spikes inlays and wrapped in ivoroid binding—making this guitar a true standout on any stage.

 

The Bengal is equipped with an M89 humbucker in the bridge position, delivering aggressive growl reminiscent of the most iconic high-performance pickups of the '80s. It's paired with two specially-voicedM81 single coils, designed to complement the M89 perfectly.

 

A trio of mini toggle switches—reminiscent of classic '80s setups—combined with our newly developed BGC1200M Midboost (a first for BGC), gives the Bengal wide and versatile tonal range, ideal for hard rock and beyond.
