Not really...consider it from Gibson's point of view. J.B. has or had a Gibson and Nickleback is a lot more commercially successful than Joe. That translates to more guitars sold. Personally, I would never buy a Nickelback guitar and would love J.B.'s Gibson, but I can understand it.

I looked at the gibson last year, isn't it chambered?

Yes, it is weight relieved. I like it. (I still would like to get a solid body older LP.) I changed the pups to BK's Cold Sweats. It is very alive and resonant. I use 12s, and i think the sustain will out live me. :thumbsup:

Exactly! I bought an Epiphone Les Paul Tribute guitar and love it - except for the damn headstock shape. It's similar to the JB Epi in that it has a lot of Gibson pieces and parts (solid mahogany, long-tenon (deep-set) neck joint, Gibson '57 Classic / Classic Plus 4-wire pickups with push/pull pots, Switchcraft pickup selector and jack, Mallory tone caps, Grover locking tuners, etc.) all for $800. If I didn't have the Tribute, I'd be all over the JB model Epi. I've always wanted a Gold Top, but can't justify the price of a Gibson LP with my feeble skills...

Long tenon, solid body, maple top, grovers, burstbuckers, gold top, black back, 50's neck, hard case, etc for $699. The mismatched knobs are kind of dumb but that is an easy fix. This guitar is more appealing to me than just about every USA Gibson. :confused:

Did you see one of the comments on that link? "I'll take the guitar without the autograph, thank you. "
:LOL: :LOL: It already has Les Paul's autograph on the guitar.

This guitar does look pretty cool, but I would have to try the neck, generally like the 60's necks over the 50's necks....
 
pretty sexy..you can do much MUCH worse than an epiphone these days...got my ultra at a stupid price and once I switched the pickups it's the guitar I tend to play the most...

Remember back in the day, Epiphone used a Gibson "open-book" top headstock too, but it was just upside down. Like this:

WHY can't they just use that instead???????
