I apologize if this has been posted already...couldn't find it. I was online looking for guitar for my son and GS is advertising the JB Epi. I thought these were sold out????
think you may have missed the conversation on here, but it appears that this is not a limited edition model any longer, - they are continuing to produce it. - Which upsets some who understandably thought that they were buying into something exclusive, - but looked at another way means more exposure and recognition for Joe.

It doesn't really matter....it's an amazing guitar for the money....and I'm all for Joe getting any exposure....he more than deserves it. Regardless, they did in fact promote it as a limited run....unless the marketing guru's meant it was a limited run until we make more....and that could have been made known. Anyway...since this conversation already took place, my apologies

To be fair to Gibson/Epiphone, I think it is likely they had no idea the amount of interest the Epi JB Goldtop would generate, and as an unabashed capitalist I don't have a problem with them producing more. There are obviously lots of players who would like to have one...
I share Joe's philosophy on this kind of thing, too. I didn't buy mine as an investment, I bought it to play it. IMHO it is hands-down the best LP model Epiphone makes. I simply don't care how many other people own one, as that has nothing to do with my ability to enjoy mine...
Just so I'm not misunderstood. I will never sell mine....nor my Bonaburst. I have pretty much every Joe thing available (to my wife's chagrin) and I will never sell any of it. And while I'm happy more people will have the opportunity to own this exceptional guitar, they should have simply produced a run...see how it went....if the demand was there, produce more. There was no need to entice buyers with the "limited" term. I'm a huge proponent of capitalism....just honest capitalism. Ok...I've said enough. Looking forward to tryout my Bonawha...that was purchased by Santa without needing to advertise "limited"
