This looks similar to something....

[qprs]

Is it just me or is this just a bit too close to a PRS. Take away the birds and binding this looks a lot like a McCarty 594 (with the thinline switch placement). That headstock looks pretty familiar.

I'm not one to worry about copying body styles or headstock shapes. The lawsuits only help the lawyers. Your mileage may vary.

For comparison:

I mean at 2am after the lights turn on when you’re 8 shots deep......nope

 

[Tony M.]

No it doesn't look like a PRS, and even if it did, so what?
How many guitars look like Stratocasters?

"Oh my GOD!
Theirs has 6 strings just like ours.
Call our legal department immediately!"

Looks like a Rogue guitar from 1998.

 

[Nice F Holes]

It reminds me of the Singlecut scandal:

Gibson Lawyer: "Nobody in their right mind would pick that guitar up and think it was a Les Paul."

Case closed.

It looks to me like a Schecter and an Epiphone Les Paul had an offspring.

 

[Ovibos]

Kinda more of a Hamer vibe.

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery...

But Bakers have looked like this for years before the 594 ever came out.

So... ya know... if anyone should be flattered....

It's terribly confused -- trying to look like All The Things and mostly looks like a whole lotta nothing.

MA Pete went through a Baker phase, so I have seen these a few years back.

How many lunar cycles are there in an average MA Pete phase?

Giggle. What is he into at the moment?

 

[shimmilou]

Those two guitars look nothing alike to me, and that first one looks cheap when compared to PRS.

Collings

Collings

I thought it was Hubers...I must be a cycle or two behind.

Yeah, he went through a couple. Might still have one, but settled on Collings.

He strikes me more as a “journey” and not the “destination” kinda guy.

Like, I would’ve quit looking after that SC 594 Prototype he had.
