A friend of mine made one of White's iconic guitars. That friend offered to make a copy of that iconic guitar for me. That friend was threatened with a lawsuit from White if that guitar were copied. I'm not sure that case would have held up in court given that the guitar in question is a copy of a copy, but...

How did Jack White find out your friend offered to make you a copy of his guitar?

Which guitar in particular are you talking about?

How did he even know about it? Did he post on Instagram that he was making Jack White's guitar for a friend?
