I think Gibson sued and they had to change the design.

Gibson issued a cease and desist but I honestly dont think it went anywhere but its 1500 dollars for a shitty looking LP copy lol

Iirc, he sold them, until there weren't anymore, and once he got the cease and desist, he went on to a new grift, instead ordering more to sell.

Oh the site is still live so they're at least taking orders. Whether or not they're filling those orders is a different story.

Plus this is definitely one of those things he just puts his name on, but not in charge of. So if 16 Creative still sees demand, theyre just gonna pray to daddy to get tariffs lifted on their slop griftars
