Ed Roman now copies the Demon and War Angel

[Scholomance]

Well, I'm surprised it took this long but Ed Roman has finally done a copy of the Demon, even almost copying the color of one of the few real ones. The body contours definitely do not have the same flow as Jackson's.

And he's copied the War Angel, which may be one a lot of people don't really catch since there are so few of them out there.

Seems he's going after Jackson with a vengeance lately.

im sure for a few extra $'s a jackson headstock & logo could be added to the build options.

why not?!?!?! he came up with the design, right? i wonder if he trademarked it....

[zeegler]

Ed Roman is such a piece of shit.

No matter how you hold that guitar, that harpoon headstock points at a pot 'o gold. :ROTF:

I'm pretty sure Newc didn't trademark it, and Jackson did at least one more after that.

Wow ...seriously he needs to be sued into oblivion. Thats so lame.

I wonder if he used pics from my Blue Sparkle Demon as reference.

Not sure,but my best friend told me you cannot patent a guitar body shape.I didn't know that.Maybe that's why Ed does what he does.

[Newc]

I'm hoping Jackson will hit him with a C&D on the WarAngel at least. I didn't figure I could trademark the body, being that it's an amalgamation of 2 existing Jackson-trademarked designs.

Would be nice if I could - Jackson would have exclusive royalty-free rights to do it

Guess I better look into it before ESPee or Ibenhad makes one and they become popular


Dirty bastard even copied the 1990-style jack location I spec'd



HOLY SAMOANS! He's even ripping off the Death Angel and calling it the Angel Of Death (how original ) and the Hamer Scarab!

Whaddadouche

[Newc]

Anyone know how to trademark something? I've got the pictures, design mockups, and original work order I filed with VWall when I ordered it.

I've just gone through the USPTO (Patent and Trademark Office) site and there's tons of links to various PDF forms, but if someone's already been down this road, a guiding light will be appreciated. Anyone seen Rob Cavestany? He's done this sort of thing before.

Someone needs to kick that guy's ass!
