Re: A Gibson Strat? It's True (Sorta...)
Pretty funny and totally legal since Fender lost the rights to the Stratocaster body shape as a court deemed it to be such a general style that it couldn't be copy written.

Re: A Gibson Strat? It's True (Sorta...)
Wow--old news--but as I've pointed out all over the internet--both Gibson & Fender have copied each other before--and they will both do it again.

Re: A Gibson Strat? It's True (Sorta...)
Crap, Jimi would even say 'What the **** is that, I want my strat!'. I dont see why the family could have done a project with each company (they would make more money), do a strat with fender, and replicate one of jimis Gibsons. They didnt have to make these, they look terrible.

Re: A Gibson Strat? It's True (Sorta...)
Gibson made a much better than average Strat, years back. I played a few, and there really wasn't a lot wrong with them.
 It was called the U2, and was really not popular for some reason. Liam |

Re: A Gibson Strat? It's True (Sorta...)
When I read that it was the "Jimi style bodyshape" I laughed so hard that I fell over. I just thought that was hilarious. On a side note though, did anybody know that Hendrix actually prefered Gibson guitar's sound but it was just too heavy and hard for him to use and they didnt have trems. Thats why he primarily used Fenders. I read this somewhere but I am not sure where or if its 100% true, but if it is then I think thats pretty cool.

Re: A Gibson Strat? It's True (Sorta...)
this is definitely one of the weirdest, stupidest and most ironic business decisions I have ever seen in history of any company.
I cant even think of anything I can compare this too regarding consumer products |

If Gibson is reading this I want this exact word to make it into the board room... I think it's stupid. I hope somebody gets fired for this. fletch |
