The Gibson 336 is a copy of an Ibanez AM205 (allbeit a very poor example), but you don't see Ibanez sueing them over it. And Ibanez has been the most "sued" guitar company in history. If Gibson was a new company just coming into the market, with what they are building, and how much they charge, they would be out of buisiness in 6 months! You will notice too, that they did not sue Orville. Only because they had plans to buy it. And have. I guess PRS is'nt for sale so they must sue. Oh, also, is'nt half of Gibsons' acoustic offerings blatent Martin ripp offs. Is Martin sueing everyone who made a dreadnought body acoustic? Gibson must just love court. They are a make work program for Lawyers, and a second rate guitar company.
