Ugly compliment!

That Shark guitar looks...well like a shark

Wow! Those are some ugly guitars! I don't think EBMM should worry about these things...

I was under the impression that the Jay Turser models were what prompted the whole OLP thing.

I really don't know about the legality of it all. But the Turser guitars have been out for a long time. I'd be shocked if Music Man hasn't known about them for years.

The first "knock off" I ever saw was a Chinese or Korean copy way back when EVH's were still in production. It's nothing new. And I wouldn't be surprised if those copies motivated the OLP line. But I don't know that either.

Maybe BP should get his own back and introduce the EBMM Shark model...

Did you guys see the angles necessary to have the string reach the tuning post on that shark guitar? Egad!

LOL! I love that! We should start making knock offs of Chinese-designed models.... HAHAHAHA!!!

When Bill and I were in Shanghai, we got so fed up with people trying to sell us watches that we started trying to sell them OUR watches -- they were shocked, I don't think they knew what to say.
