Fake Fender Outrage by ShitFluencers/CuckFluencers......

[DanTravis62]

I just took defaults for most, so could be an option?


I had to get a MIJ to get the Jag I wanted off reverb. fender.com doesn't show the MIJ guitars in the US. I watched a video from the UK, and their Fender site had MIJ guitars listed.

there's a bunch of MIJ fenders I really like

I mean whatever ones opinion on the matter may be......


We can all agree......


Nvm the BS and fuck the noise..... Especially with a nasty cold/fever

Was that the whole image you meant to post bro'?

Makes no sense.

Like most of the crap he spewed....
And the quotes that @phillybhatesme quoted (which show it's *not* just an "Only in stupid woke Europe with their dumb laws" problem...or...or is PRS a European Company these days? ) 'carefully' get looked over, because it doesn't fit someone's narrow-minded and factually untrue narrative...hell...schtick even, by now.

But guess we're too 'hip' to grasp that 'higher truth'. 4:20 for realzz.

The way some of the influencers like that Schull guy say, "I'm burning bridges with Fender", is what gets me.

Fender, with its roster of amazing artists, is going to worry about some lame-o guitarist in the same league as that Fluff guy... That'll be the day.

I think the lawsuit has merit fwiw. Some people on the thread mentioned innovators in Europe doing the Strats better than Fender. Do you see a possibility of a Fender flush with funds doing the same thing?

No way. They have had half a century to do so. They are barely dipping their toes in with the new ultra models, but it's all about 20 years too little too late.

They are obviously way more concerned about increasing margins (hence the indonesian "standards") than they are about innovating.

I see it as a typical disruption, someone building a product that offers the same benefits, or more, at a cheaper price.

Patent laws are quite strict when it comes to medicine, for example, in the US, and generics are not allowed at all. In the case of the Fender, there are a lot of proprietary design choices, I'd think.

Of course, I recognise that this stifles consumer choice, which is always a bad thing. But from the perspective of the company, it might make ample sense to defend the shape that it designed.

The Strat body and tone just work. Perhaps Fender doesn't think consumers need a better mouse trap.

Nothing stops other builders from making a new shape. The Strat body and neck, though, have real history in the music industry, and these builders and influencers may not think of the cost of developing a guitar that has sold well for almost 70 years now.

The problem with your theory is there is legal precedent of them not defending it for those exact 70 years.

Not sure if it's been mentioned anywhere in the thread yet due to the incessant ramblings of our resident gnat, but apparently, they've served PRS a letter now too

Oh yeah I got that.

Thought the "meaningless" pic might've been 'cause of your inability to concentrate ATM too.

Get well brother.

Thank You Monkey Man-san..... Ima take some Omega 3 and Vitamin C *_*

I am convinced Fender could make this revolutionary product and some will buy it just to own the libs (but not the ones in charge of FMIC, apparently)

See that's the funny thing. We're talking about a company who hates his fucking guts and everything he stands for and would fire him instantly if he worked there.

 

[Fiesta Red]

Defending a company is something lawyers do to get paid. Can't see why anyone would vehemently defend their actions. None of us here are on Fender's payroll. They simply want our money.

As does any corporation.
