It's interesting to see how these cases play out. It seems as though the 335 body shape case has stalled...I haven't seen any updates on that.

I'm sure Univox is waiting for the outcome of that one, considering the 335-shape of my early 70's bass....

Based on its product portfolio, I don't think Eastwood (the current owner of the Univox brand) cares much about I.P. disputes. :mrgreen:

That Eastwood is a copy of a copy. And their stuff is not cheap
I'm expecting to see Eastwood copies.

There's an interesting group on fake Epiphones. I hadn't realized there were a lot of fakes out there.
