Looks bad compared to Michael's old V's. The sound is also not comparable, on the new MSG cd's done with Deans the tone is muddy and dark. The old Scorps/UFO/MSG V tone kills. Oh and that headstock just sucks IMO.

That guitar looks stubby as hell.

Originally posted by shreddermon View PostFMIC, the corporate parent of Fender (and Jackson/Charvel) tried to assert legal rights to the Strat and other classic body shapes last year. And, previously, Gibson sued PRS claiming their SC body style infringed on their Les Paul body legal rights. Both FMIC and Gibby lost big time.

I kinda dig this..
Gibby and Fender own patent/copyright over their headstock designs.. they've been denied rights over the body shapes.
IIRC, laws states that as long as there is a 15% change in either design, fuction or cosmetics; you're good to go in being "inspired" by another's design/idea or concept.
hence the lawsuits against Nady and Behringer when they put out gear that is exact dupes with no change other than the logo.
Behringer's gotten into it with a bunch of companies and seems to constantly piss the folks at Mackie off.. Nady got caught with their exact dupes of the Radial/Tonebone series of pedals.DiMarzio Endorsee
