I don't know the legal aspect of these things but you'd think such names 
would have to be cleared through the artist's estate. If I were to make a 
Les Paul Amp or a Paul Butterfield Amp I would think their estates would 
have legal grounds to intervene. Good Point Jim!

On the other hand, it's nice to have one of our Harp Hero's Name on an Amp 
to pay tribute in a positive light unlike the distastefull portrayal and 
explotation he recieved in last years "Cadillac Records' Film in Hollywood.

Best, Rob Paparozzi
