I'm sure most of you know about Gibson suing PRS for the Singlecut. Gibson has been making Les Pauls with embarassing quality at truly ridiculous prices for few years now. Smaller quality minded manufacturers ( Robin being one of them ) have been making " Les Paul Like" guitars that play and sound like a Les Paul should. I for one am grateful for this.
Gibson refused to build a better guitar at a fair price...instead they sue...and win. Instead of doing honest battle by building a better axe, Gibson took the cowards way out and relied on the parasites of our society...lawyers and courts! What sissies!! The PRS singlecut isn't even the best one, but they probably sold more of them than the other instrument companies, including Robin ( The Avalon being my personal favorite ), Baker, Hamer etc...
It just burns me up that our courts, and the people who participate in them have become so stupid that they could ruin things for us all.
I hope this ruling will be overturned in the appeal process...not because I am a fan of PRS, but for the principal that a company should be successful for building the best product at a reasonable price.
