I still kinda dig the green one. But I doubt I'll actually buy one.---------------------------
The most popular thread I've ever made was 1) a joke and 2) based around literally the most inane/mundane question I could think of. That says something about me, or all of you, or both.

1) Complain about access to the frets you barely touch anyway, even though no one has played one yet.
2) Go off-topic into some other, tenuously related topic.
We've done #1 already, so now it's time for #2.

And now they sign away one of that company they are suing's premier signature artist during the trademark lawsuit.
It is completed unrelated to typical things like George Lynch swapping brands.
I mean seriously, this is as high drama in the Guitar and music merchant business world as it gets.
This is really where peeps have to "vote" with their wallets if they believe an injustice is being done by Gibson. This isn't a "Dave Mustaine" issue, so I'm not sure why people are focused on him as a person.
As I understand it, Gibson is asking for $2M "per instance of counterfeit" in their suit against Dean. They are claiming infringement on 7 guitar shapes, one headstock design, and 2 names (Moderne and Hummingbird). If successful, this could cripple the company.
Personally, I'm happy not owning any Gibsons. They are the most overrated guitars in the business today and survive by convincing players that not changing at all is the ultimate in innovation.
I'm simply waiting until Fender/Jackson gets up the nerve to sue Gibson Brands over the Kramer King V...err...I mean "Vanguard" shape. Then I'll snag one of the Mustaine sigs cheap for future resaleLast edited by Masta' C; 02-26-2021, 08:09 PM.

But I realized it's not a company I'm handing over 3500 for again.Last edited by NegativeEase; 02-27-2021, 02:54 PM.“For me, when everything goes wrong – that’s when adventure starts.” Yvonne Chouinard

I don’t care for his signature models but I will say I’ll take the average US Dean ‘copy’ over the average Gibson ‘original’ any day of the week, even with all the stigma attached to that forked hs.
I sincerely hope they survive.
