You can do that with any humbucker tube, gilmour did it on a couple of his guitars. Also not to many guitars could ever be a fender, many have tried to imitate them but none can succeed.
Gibsons are nice guitars they sound so sweet. The mahagony body with the sustain and non feedback is to die for. The weight is something to extreme though. After about an hour of playing one of them your shoulder hurts so bad you can hardly move your arm lol ..
My brother just bought a Tobias bass, that is something you should check out also. It is so light, you would never know it is a bass. I also sounds so good. Then seeing that he paid $1500.00 for it I would think it should sound good lol ..
