No need to apologise, cute animal pictures are always welcome. Plus, in that pose, the dog's head is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of his/her body.fullerplast wrote: Sorry about that, it's kind of an inside joke from the "early days" (a few months ago).

Actually, G&L does license the body shapes - check it (from the G&L website) -fullerplast wrote: Patents are only good for a certain period of time, then the design is "fair game". That's why we see so many different makers ripping off the offset body.
Besides, the 1977 agreement in the Norlin vs. Hoshino ( AKA Gibson vs. Ibanez, the famous "lawsuit") was that the headstock is THE defining feature of a guitar maker's brand. Therefore guitar bodies can be copied without license.
It's probably how Leo was able to rip off himself under the G&L name! There's irony for ya!
