I'm thinkin' that if you made 500 JD/Harley/yadda-yadda gist the primary manufacturers might have an issue.....however, I don't think that anyone's gonna chase down guys like us who make and mebbe sell a couple of bits with a logo on....on the other hand, I recall a couple of peeps getting sued over the Napster thang so.......just my 2c worth.....anyhow, I'm gonna luff my ass off when Pick gets sued by Ferrari........

If you post anything for sale online and describe it using a registered TM ("Harley Davidson rice cooker" "Jack Daniels coffee mug" etc.), it will be picked up by Google search and will come to the attention of the TM owner who, as somebody here pointed out, has sold that marketing to somebody in Beijing and is now legally obligated to send you a C & D letter. Don't believe me--put a "Kim Kardashian Kapo" ad on Ebay and watch what happens.

Hard to feel sorry for the suits, but they've already agreed in writing to shoot at you if you stick your head up.

Call it a "Cigar Box Guitar" but don't say "Punch Cigar"--just show a photo and copy Ben's words about "upcycled trash."
