Jeez man. Welcome to the forum.QUOTE="cjpeck, post: 9180062, member: 90291"]
I thought I'd let you bloviate for a while and get really frustrated before I stuck the knife in. You are bound and determined to die on this hill, aren't you? OK, go for it. As for me, I got a gig to go to so have fun.
Oh yeah, my point still stands.
You got me you clever little rascal! Don' hurt me any more with your cutting wit, you go for the jugular. It isn't even fair. You have broken me, I am a shell of the man I once was with the tongue lashing you gave me.

Well, a lawyer would say something like "The plaintiffs' claim is barred by the doctrine of laches as well as estoppel," but that's just the polite way of saying the same thing.
No Bil, that is the educated and intelligent way of saying the same thing.

Is ociu812 really Mark Agnesi lol?
Busted! Oh, and only teenage girls use 'lol", not grown men. Assuming of course you are a grown man.
@oicu812
this thread will go on without you !
and if you take your poor posting style to the other thread......
the same will happen
I have never claimed it would stand up in court. The legal-eze bullshit, is to me, exactly that. The laws, to me, are misguided in certain respects.
A Flying V and an Explorer are the only pointy guitars I like. So far I have only an Explorer, but there was a nice off-white Flying V at L&M when I was picking up the Explorer.
As far as the lawsuit(s) by Gibson, I think the Flying V is theirs alone, but they really should have protected it.
Although other manufacturers can call their copy a V, can they call it a Flying V ?
I actually got disinterested in any “pointy” guitars pretty much after the 80s. I always thought the V looked cool, but only took the plunge and tried one about a year ago. I bought it new, and within five minutes after taking it out of the box, I couldn’t get it back in there fast enough to return it. Goofy and awkward as hell in my opinion.
Bill, I have clearly stated several times that my personal point of view is if you come up with the idea it is yours, and yours alone. It should be yours until, as I previously stated, you dispose of it in some fashion I.e. sale, gift, or inheritance.
You too? I thought I was alone.
Multi-billion-dollar companies like Disney have extended that "temporary" monopoly (copyright) far beyond reason thanks to their political clout.
