fotoman Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 do i have to call again for an RWG BAND!?!?!?!?! Are these replica guitar parts? First, of all, if they are kramer parts, you can call them kramer - obviously you can also call them similiar to kramer or Kramer styled the only thing you can't do is LIE so, you can't call it kramer if it isn't. if the manufacturer is selling necks that were designed by kramer then you can say that. but if your just saying that because it looks like the ones designed by kramer then there you go. The good news is kramer went out of business a long ass time ago someone probably owns the rights to a few of the models that are being sold, i'm sure mostly POS's so not likley anyone will be hounding you down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guild never sued Ibanez, so as far as I know there has never been a ruling as to whether you could legally claim ownership rights to a shape. As far as the Kramer banana goes: It resembles a hockey stick more than anything else so I wouldn't worry about it. The big issue back in the '70s wasn't that Ibanez was ripping off Gibson, but rather that they were doing it and were outselling them so it was hurting Gibson's bottom line. Good luck and hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capice Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 you could also contact Deltick on TRC, he is also into guitars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I got a beginner guitar.. the iAxe. You can connect it up to a computer and use that as the amp and get all different sounds out of it. A cheap way to get started I think brand new it's around $150-200, but I got it used. I tried the James Bond theme tune so far It's disheartening when little progress is made though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Personally, I'd buy one of those 'as is', and use it as wall art Always wanted to play the guitar, but never got round to learning.... Best of luck with the business I can't see them being a problem if sold as unbranded replacements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the James Bond theme tune so far It's disheartening when little progress is made though what i did to learn to play was get a 50's / 60's rock music book - Very simple 3 chord songs, and ya know them all no matter what age - thats how i learned chords Then, you start moving up - the key is to play along to music, or learn along to something you enjoy - that creates its own motivation. computers help alot, you can take a short mp3 clip and play it on a loop so you can learn a hard part of a song, over and over and over again - thats how all musicians do it- its just now alot easier - don't have to keep hitting rewind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
