Oddly Similar?

So last night an old friend came by to jam a bit, him on his SG, myself on my RD. After about a half hour he says to me, it's kind of funny that you dislike Fenders yet you're playing a guitar that looks like one. I'm like, huh. So he shows me this picture of the Jagstang's design...

I guess the body shape is kind of similar, I'm just not a fan of Fenders. I always thought the RD looked like a Firebird and felt like my Les Paul.

I just read a book called Gibson Electric Guitars and there was a section in it about how Fender had trademarked certain design elements of one of their guitars, and challenged Gibson when Gibson came out with the Firebird. This resulted in some design changes to the Firebird.
