Hey guys,

I won an auction for a early to mid eighties Burny Black Custom. It has the 2 hole truss rod cover and correct gibson style custom headstock inlay. The funny thing is Ebay pulled the auction right after I won and the seller says it told him it was a tradmark violation. I do recall the title had "les paul clone" in it. Would this be considered a trademark violation? It was listed and clearly stated that it was a made in Japan Burny though. He seems to be respectable and owns a nice music store. So I can still get it for 620 shipped with hard case. What you guys think??
