Three that spring to mind are...
Epiphone Casino and Wildcat
Gibson SG Special
Not popular enough to justify? Or watertight copyrights/patents?

the vintage vs6 mick abrams model is an sg special clone, until they had to offset the shape slightly

There was a recent thread on TGP about Gibson suing another small company regarding an Epiphone Wildcat type of guitar.

Now with all the cheap Chinese manufacturers getting on eBay I've been seeing quite a few Casino/ES330-clones. But I also had an Ibanez (ASR-70 I think) that had that same construction, P90's and no centre block, even if it wasn't visually that similar.

I haven’t seen a lot of Ovation Breadwinner copies floating around. Steinberger had a few copycats back in the ‘90s, but nothing today.

Didn’t Eastwood clone that plus the Magnum bass? The Magnum thing stuck out to me because I owned a real one for a long time. Nobody much liked them to start, and the Eastwood just cloned the shape and not the electronics, so it seemed like a weird project all around. I had a Breadwinner at one point too in the 90s and can’t remember anything about it save that it looked so weird.fuzzjunkie wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 10:57 amI haven’t seen a lot of Ovation Breadwinner copies floating around.
