The obvious answer is that there *isn't* a high demand for it! There 
is, perhaps, a demand that is marginally higher than the current 
supply. But I doubt it would even register a blip on Gibson's marketing 
radar. 

When I was hunting for an EDP last year I enqired about it in at least 
a dozen local music shops (almost all Gibson dealers) as well as 
several online shops in Germany, France and the UK. Most had never 
heard of the EDP. Of those who had heard of it most couldn't supply one 
even if they wanted to because the official Gibson importer *refused* 
to import EDPs due to 'lack of demand'. I ended up getting one via 
mail-order from the US after a several-month wait ...

If there really were any kind of demand for EDPs, or loopers in 
general, you can be sure even Gibson - thick-headed as they are - would 
have EDPs in every outlet they could find.
