So now Gibson owns those shapes and other companies that have copied the shapes have to stop too?
They've always owned those shapes since they trademarked them as many as 60ish years ago. They have sued other companies in the past.
Most other companies (except the Chibsons) are smart enough to make their versions different enough to not get sued.
They don't bother suing all the Asian companies, 'cause they know it'd be futile.
I always thought a doubleneck flying V that looks like would be cool. I've not seen any with that shape
I have one of Gibson's reverse V models. It's actually more ergonomic than it looks, but it doesn't get played at all really.
That looks like it'd be a bitch to hold and play - and heavy, but all double neck guitars are heavy.
I wonder if it'd be more realistic with a reverse V shape? Or maybe one regular V and a reverse V?
