Those two companies would absolutely get the right kind of legal approval first. Personally, I think the PRS HDRX is kind of odd, but there's a deal with the real Hendrix estate (or whatever).I have no horse in the race but it did make me come up with a neat little thought experiment:
Would SSO give PRS or Suhr a pass for doing something like this?

At least with the PRS amps it was a case of Paul being like "I just really like those tones and we managed to actually get them so we tried to recreate the exact amps they used". They did the same thing with Duane Allman's amps. And it was just meant to sound like another amp, they didn't make it a purple Plexi box or paint over it with flowers lolThose two companies would absolutely get the right kind of legal approval first.

I wonder if we'll ever see Mayer with a FrankenskyAt least with the PRS amps it was a case of Paul being like "I just really like those tones and we managed to actually get them so we tried to recreate the exact amps they used".

Hell if PRS made a "brown sound" amp I still think it would be fine. Though I don't think he's into that kind of stuff.
Now if PRS did this and made a fucked up SIlver Sky limited edition with the stripes and all? Really really fucking weird.

I really don't think this has anything to do with Kiesel, even though they're great at pulling this stuff. I would have the exact same response with any company doing this kind of thing.I have no horse in the race but it did make me come up with a neat little thought experiment:

But would PRS or Suhr do something Ike this without it being an “official” version authorized by the estate?Would SSO give PRS or Suhr a pass for doing something like this?
Well said. It’s like they’ve unilaterally decided to make an sig for an artist. Maybe that will be their next move. They’ll release a Vài sig, and not involve Steve, or pay him, at all.It's not because it's Kiesel, but somehow it's always Kiesel.
I remember the story of some guy who was sent a message (C&D?) from EVH's people for selling a handmade Frankenstrat on eBay. Not a big brand, just a single dude. They don't fuck aroundconsidering the time frame they give, there won't be a huge mass production number on the market, so maybe EVH and estate will let it slip. Like a small batch and done. Nothing to sue for.
This is true, I had ebay pull a listing I had up a long while ago for trying to sell a Frankenstrat replica I had had put together because eBay had been contacted by EVH lawyers for breach of copyright with the paint scheme, so yeah they really don't fcuk aboutI remember the story of some guy who was sent a message (C&D?) from EVH's people for selling a handmade Frankenstrat on eBay.

Nah they're recessed. If you look close you can see the paint going into the cavitiesAre these top-mount floyd’s? If so, that’s pretty on the nose. No doubt someone got a phone call soon after these were announced to the public.
I can only imagine Kiesel and Co balking at a legal phone call until a formal C&D letter shows up.
