I don't see anything like a Gibson shape there and he really isn't dead on with the Fender shapes, not even on the headstock. It's close but not an exact copy.Originally Posted by (crazymandolinist @ July 26 2008, 16:02)
No copyright issues for Fender and Gibson shapes?

Mike,
Thanks for your response to the copyright issue. You are correct, Fender made a Mandocaster, which has a definite different look altogether. Also, as to the Tele style look (which there is quite a variance) (I am building Mandolins not Guitars).
Thanks,
John
So much lookalike stuff gets offloaded at the west coast P.O.E.'s that are guitars ,
I think the copyright situation is Moot.
all the guitar hardware is on offer from multiple sources, and its largely interchangeable.
guess it wasn't as important as the copyright renewal on "Happy Birthday'
writing about music
is like dancing,
about architecture
