As other's have said the Gibson name will live on... but I wouldn't mind picking up an SG or another Les Paul on the cheap in the meantime

Damn, isn't that Trad's store?
I always liked the vibe of Axe more than L&M. Over the years I've bought keyboards, basses, and even turntable needles there. I liked their auction thing.
