Also interesting to note that the headstock design is generally able to be trademarked and a part of why almost all PBG current line up feature the paddle style.
There is also ongoing effort for their Pre Build range (not currently stocked afaik) to have it's own unique headstock design, but I'm not actually sure what's happening with that. I saw some pictures of some sample necks at the end of last year, but I guess the whole pandemic thing has put a bit of a kybosh on that endeavor.
Build 1 - Shoegazer MK1 JMA-1
Build 2 - The Relliecaster TL-1
Build 3 - The Black Cherry SG AG-1
Build 4 - The Sonicaster TL-1ish
Build 5 - The Steampunker Bass YB-4
Build 6 - The Howling Gowing ST-1

I'm curious as to how StewMac get away with it?
StewMac's LP kits have a non-G headstock shape, and the body has some differences, i.e. the lower horn is somewhat diminished. Presumably those differences are precisely for the purpose of avoiding being sued.
