G vs K

I am currently embracing a renewed belief for Gibson. My recent purchase episodes involved Gibson guitars & that's plain to see. I like them more now than before. There's a certain re-thinking happening at Gibson that's driving their product worthiness up. 

And then Gibson had to go after Kiesel.

That's right, folks. That's a recent development, just days ago & I was fortunate enough to watch/ listen to the breaking news during Jeff Kiesel's live telecast at FB. I have a feeling, the people behind this legal wrangling are not the people who chose to embrace product focus. I reserve further comments till the truth be told. But the way things are going, we won't know the truth; not from Gibson in the mean time.

I feel sorry for the myopic people who chose to re-instate this confrontational stance. In view of Gibson's Flying V & Kiesel's Ultra V, it's plain even for the layperson to see that both guitars are different. On the legal front, the Gibson camp is fighting this case on a semblance basis; they are trying to establish the fact that Kiesel's interpretation is a total cause for confusion with reference to  Gibson's on grounds of absolute similarity. If this argument stands then Jackson's version should be included for validity's sake. On the patent front, Jeff Kiesel had made it clear that the design was conceived in the '80s, a good span of time before Gibson had their version recognized by the law. Folks, in the court of law, some cases get thrown out on factual grounds & it's usually the rookie lawyers who fell for this.

Gibson is also contesting Kiesel's singlecut design (the SC). We know & well remember how that failed when Gibson went after PRS so the futility of this pursuit is rather clear. On that note (no pun intended), Jeff Kiesel once again made it clear that the SC went into production after the Gibson vs PRS debacle bit the dust. 

So there you have it; signs of desperation on the verge of futility. I really wish this didn't happen but hidden agenda suggests a thorn by Gibson's side. It might be something the new boss overlooked or thought he could shake off but proved to be more than a handful now.
