That just shows that others too believe the Big Al to be a new classic. It is obvious what they looked at while designing the differences.

You guys do know that Eko has been around for 50 years, and that the body style is similar to ones they used in the 60s, right?

I believe that if this was to go to court, they would be more in trouble about the 4+1 tuners on the headstock than the elusive body design.
Anyone remembers when Gibson sued PRS for their singlecut and lost? Personally I thought PRS got away with murder but the law is the law and they won instead.

No, there would not be any trouble about the 4+1 tuner setup on the headstock. None. Fender, Lull, Sadowsky, Elrick, and many other brands use a 4+1 headstock design and have for years.
Again, the ONLY headstock layout that is verboten is 3+1.

Yep, and by the looks of the upper/lower horn ends, it must have been a Bongo
Yep, some wild mixture of Bongo and Al, like a "Bongal" or "Alongo"
