Say goodbye to the PRS Singlecut

Looks like Gibson just b!tch slapped PRS... Can't wait for the "Pre-lawsuit" Ebay descriptions.
My real concern is that now that Fender owns Jackson, whats stopping big G from going after the Kelly, KV, etc? Or is Jackson too small time for Gibson to bother?

Re: Say goodbye to the PRS Singlecut

Kelly's and King V's are way too far removed to be considered trademark infringement. Granted, they are based in classic designs, but Jackson took the guitars in a completely different direction. I can't even find a single similarity in a Kelly vs, an Explorer, other than a vague offset hourglass shape. If a Kelly or a King V is trademark infringement (it's not) then Gibson should have sued PRS when they released their first guitar, which is not too loosely based on a Les Paul (set neck, 2 hums, arched top etc.) I give PRS credit for taking a classic LP design, and improving (debatable) upon it, to come up with their original product. I think a good analogy would be a Stratocaster vs. a Soloist.

Man that is frickin bogus. Thats even more lame than EVH sueing everyone over using his STRIPED paint scheme.

Re: Say goodbye to the PRS Singlecut

This could be a good thing. I'd like to see PRS come up with something original. They certainly have sufficient name recognition to pull it off.

Re: Say goodbye to the PRS Singlecut

I never understood the Tremonti model other than artist endorsement.. it looks like a friggin modded Paul. I suppose since Dillion and the like were getting away with it. I actually support Gibson for doing it, I just hope it doesn't get carried away.

Eric I am confused... Your saying you hope they come up with something even more ingenious than a crappy les paul copy? That doesn't set the bar very high. [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

PRS ahs been sued by Gibson before they have had it coming too...... They have been suing small name luthiers over Their design. Really
