There’s a clear difference between inspired by vs cloning in my mind and it’s the latter that’s fair game for the lawyers. It’s also not the first time there’s been a big push to litigate. 80s Japan the obvious examples. Re PRS, well I think the singlecut is sufficiently different. It’s the likes of Tokai & even Chibsons that ought to be the target here. Not say, Heritage, Collings or Huber. Are Eastman sufficiently different? Are the builders like Gil Yaron & Bartlett fair game? Do they say thanks very much to Chris Derrig?
‘Hey Norm are you hiring?’
‘There’s this Gibson video hitting the channel in a few weeks time and let’s just say that’s there’s some shit and a fan involved so I may need a place to crash for a while’

Those actually look pretty good and I am sure they will be cheap.
the dean V has been in production for 40 years!... any judge will say “why now?”...
’’The details of the filing are equally interesting. Rather than only accusing Armadillo of infringing trademarks, the filing accuses it of Trademark Counterfeiting – in effect accusing Armadillo of trying to deceive or mislead the public into thinking that the guitars made by Dean and Luna are in fact Gibsons, or have some connection to Gibson.
This is notable because not only is it a much more serious accusation than trademark infringement, but the penalties if the court is to find against Armadillo are also much greater. Gibson is seeking damages comprising Armadillo’s profits, damages sustained by Gibson, and the costs of the action, as well as for the former two amounts “to be trebled or otherwise multiplied to the extent permitted by statute”, according to official court documents. Alternatively, Gibson can pursue statutory damages of up to and including $14 million ($2 million for each of the seven mentioned in the filing).
Gibson has requested a jury trial to resolve the case. Guitar.com has approached both Armadillo Enterprises and Gibson Brands for comment’’
Gibson are being complete twats now. instead of improving the brand they’re just seeking to destroy any competition and squeeze the marketplace and why now after all this time
This is going to come back and bite them in the arse twice as hard
I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
My future is secured
...seems I was premature in my assessment. Truly an act of gargantuan idiocy that will do nothing but damage their brand. Arrogance to the extreme
