I've spoken to Tom on several occasions, being that we're in the same biz. He's never told me of this. Guess I'll have to call and ask!
I know Tom's doing huge business in Japan, with a Japanese licensed Holmes brand being made by a friend of my Asian distributor. Good stuff! I also know he wants to get out of pickups to concentrate on guitars, which is why he charges so much for them. He figured people would stop buying if they coulnd't afford. He was wrong.
The fact that PRS has temporarily won will have a nice effect on the Fender lawsuits as well. It will make it more difficult for Fender to shut down the smaller builders.
Now if only something could be done about that pesky Dimarzio trademark. Any trademark attorneys here?
