Whats funny is that Gibson never complained until Prs released a single-cut, despite many other companies making blatant Copies of the LP.
The reason for this is simple...If someone is in the market for a Stagg,Samick,Vintage(etc) Les Paul...I Gibson is quite clearly out of their price range...

However, someone buying a Prs single-cut is in the exact same target market as someone buying a Gibson...
The Prs Single-Cut was the first high-end guitar to offer worthy(probably better) alternative to the Les Paul .

Its sad that it happened, the whole suing thing...I think Orville would have been really dissappointed with Gibson pressing for legal action.
