So, you know how gibson les pauls, and what not are shapes lots of people want, but are off limits, because of well, the lawsuit.
Could you possibly modify them slightly to replicate esp eclipses or something? I imagine esp/ ltd wouldn't be as anal about that.
So like, marginally thinner (though esp does do a full thickness version), slightly different horn, tummy cut, etc.
Cause I imagine the lp shapes would be in fairly high demand, but because of the lawsuit, it's still questionable whether you can use them. Though that might be a workaround, and in theory wouldn't require too much extra design work for the stencils or what not
