Damn gibson. Just because they can't make guitars of this quality.

But anyway. Any predications on how much these guitars are going to be worth now that they are no longer being made? My brother has the works- 10 top, bird inlays, etc. How much should it be insured for?

I think that's the crux of the suit, too:

McNaught makes a single-cut that puts Gibson AND PRS to shame, however he uses a totally unique neck joint.

The Singlecut and the LP are actualy fairly different from each other. The PRS has a 25" scale neck, and different size and shape neck which has a different tone than the LP. The body's weren't identicle either. The thickness of each wood was different, along with a few slight differences in the shape. Actually, when it comes to tone, the McCarty is closer to a LP than the Singlecut. I am still highly pissed at Gibson for picking PRS out of the numerous company's that make a "singlecut" even some an exact replica.

I whole heartedly agree with you on that.

[font=ttrebuchet ms]Jeez, if you just gotta have a well-made 'single-cut', get a Tokai Love Rock and buy an amp with the money you save!

Personally, I prefer an old double-cut Yamaha SG or SBG.[/font]
