He also filed several other lawsuits against Scarbee and other to keep them from using the Rhodes name on any of their products. All that being said, I'd love to play the new Rhodes if I can ever see one.
If he went through all of that to get the name, I can understand him going after Scarbee and others, I'd do the same. It looks like he's got quite a bit of money tied up in this product, and most likely is really committed to seeing the MK7 become a success. I really hope this is a quality instrument!
