Dimarzio's defending their double cream

[Les Paulverizer]

If Larry DiMarzio managed to legally trademark a colour, he now owns it, simple as.
Someone else should have thought of it before.
Now, in the immortal words of Frank Zappa the Great, everyone "shut up, and play yer guitar".

That's like saying if Gibson lost the trademark to their logo or Les Paul body shape to someone else.

If CRAPMarzio respected his industry/trade he would of done the right thing and gave it back to Gibson even out of respect . Without Gibson, Dimarzio wouldn't of existed.

TO HELL WITH THAT SCUMBAG DIMARZIO

Gibson never used double cream bobbins. They used double whites, so they would not have been able to trademark double cream anyway.

Plenty of double whites and parchment colors available today, I don't see the issue for all those who want vintage correct. I just got some M69 rings from Philly luthier and they look the business.


Pickguards and rings are too cream!
Bobbins not cream enough!

Nobody is ever happy


BTW, I got an email from StewMac yesterday and they are making double cream SuperD clones now. Wonder if the design patent is up? 2023 is 50 years.

Exactly, Gibson never made double cream moreover in the 70s and 80s a double cream pickup was synonymous with DiMarzio: and let’s not forget that Mr. Larry DiMarzio basically invented the replacement pickup thing: the very first was DiMarzio, straight away followed by Mighty Mite, then everyone else, all extremely reputable may I add…
It’s not my business and frankly I don’t care, that’s just my opinion, but seems like some folks can’t wait to vent anger, negativity and criticism.

I wonder how that works. StewMac ONLY offers open double cream in their 70s and 80s "distortion pickup" models. Can't get it in their regular humbuckers. Weird.

Wrong baseplate material and magnet size, fwiw, but I guess even DiMarzio gets those wrong today.
