Well I'm going to have a line of "Fucking Awesome" guitars, 'cause who doesn't want a Fucking Awesome guitar?I want to start a guitar line named "used". So when an consumer calls one of my dealers and says" do you have any used guitars? they'll respond,"we got a wall full of them!
Now I'm think in'
I'm gonna trademark that first thing tomorrow
I have one. It's a Les Paul Jr. I love it!
A good friend gave it to me. Had it plek'd and put Lollars in it.
One of my new faves for sure.
avoid getting ripped off by chucklehead [/video]
The Plek'ing probably cost more than the guitar lol. Unless you got some connections and got it done for free.
Connections?
ME??
in order for your analogy to actually hold up, said cover band would have to try to dupe people into buying tickets to see the real band, only to find out its a covers band at the show.
I've yet to see a cover band advertise they were actually the real band..... this is exacrtly what these counterfeit guitars are doing, so really not the same thing at all as a cover band playing covers.
or musicians making money playing other artists songs without written consent or royalty agreement.
Or modeling companies making money copying amp makers iconic tones & ever so slightly changing the amp names to avoid being sued for using a copyrighted name brand without permission.........
So if I went to see New kids on the block and Joey ended up sick so they brought in Lance Bass From nsync, did I get burned???
I mean the ticket was like 250.00. Just sayin'
BTW, this is hypothetical
...THE SAME job with THE SAME wood as American builder... FOR THE SAME GIBSON GUITAR.
...All who pays THOUSANDS of dollars for piece of wood it is just stupid deceived people...
So what you're trying to say is that people should not obey the law? Ah... now I understand why everything is so cheap when it's made in China....Yes it is not legal to sell chinese gibson in US, but who cares?...
...Chineses are practical people, they dont care about trademarks and logos.
WTF you talking abut unethical, illegal, etc?
Chinese guitar builder doing THE SAME job with THE SAME wood as American builder. So why american luthier would take so much more money? 200$ vs 3000$ ? FOR THE SAME GIBSON GUITAR. Say thanks to chinese people, they do huge job for people and making affordable gibsons that looks and play great. And thanks for saving thousands of dollars. Guitar is piece of wood, it cant cost more than 800$ with all branded hardware and original floyd rose. All who pays THOUSANDS of dollars for piece of wood it is just stupid deceived people. GIBSON LOGO CANT COST 2000$!!!!! WAKE UP, it cost nothing.
Yes it is not legal to sell chinese gibson in US, but who cares? In all world it is legal to sell and buying chinese gibsons and enjoing them as people around world do.
And you cant know who play on stage with real gibson or china, many legendary guitarists play EXACTLY 100% chinese gibsons, but with branded pickups.
Chineses are practical people, they dont care about trademarks and logos. If buyer want gibson logo - they will do it.
