I'm kinda OK with the new (2013) 'J' models by Gibson (depicted above- LPJ/SGJ), in fact, I find them fundamentally attractive. We have to backtrack to the BFG days to see something this basic, arguably bare-bones Gibsons for the taking. The purists will shun this, to them these are pariah instruments, a tragic removal of aesthetics in an attempt to let the common people embrace 'Gibson'. I see that as disrespect. If the manufacturer has something in their catalogues to settle Gibson heretics like me, it should be deemed as a commercial triumph. I should consider one of them, then. OK maybe both.
PS: Those are not active humbuckers, simply covered passive units.

I love it, especially the LPJ Chocolate. What humbies would you put in there? A Dimarzio Norton in the bridge and an Air Norton in the neck? Or maybe a Custom 5 in the bridge and a 59 in the neck for Duncan fans?
Hmm... I might just give it a Tesla treatment :-)
ah thanks for making the fonts easier to read sub! much appreciated! the SG looks rather inviting...wonder how thick its neck will be...
