Yeah, I've often heard that the most cost effective way to get the
classic "Gibson sound" is to buy a nice-playing Epiphone and replace its
stock pickups.  I haven't tried this technique, since the second guitar
I ever got was a second-hand Gibson LP Std and I've been pretty happy
with how it soudns (I've occasionally been tempted to replace _its_
pickups, but only occasionally :)
