The issue with the Les Paul features... on the back cover is an Ibanez advertisement for their Andy Timmons Signature model. I have to ask - did something munge the font metrics and no one noticed before sending it to the printer? Or -- please tell me this is not true -- is it supposed to be like that?

I wondered the same thing. If that was on purpose I have to say that it really hurt the ad's ability to convey information on the product.
