Gibson won't be producing any lefty semi-hollows or hollows anytime soon, so just for shitz and giggles and my love of The Beatles--and i hear Chinese or no, it's a great edition, and the P90s are supposed to be excellent for Jazz. I'm hoping it works out. I had an Epiphone Joe Pass once. Great sounding guitar once I put Gibson 57 Classics in it. From the reviews I've read, I might not need to replace the pickup and wiring.
