Floyd Upgrades (FU Tone) partners with Blades.

[mooncobra]

I was looking at the FU Tone website. I heard they greatly expanded their product line, including their own guitars. It had been a long time since I checked them out. I was surprised by a few things. First off, they make and sell their own guitars now. The last time I was at the Floyd upgrades site, if I remember correctly, they just had the big blocks. That was probably at least 8 or 9 years ago if not longer. If I owned any guitar related business that had the possibility to partner with other companies, the last person/business I would ever partner with is Blades. It would cost you business for sure.

He ripped off Cameron and Fortin for his amps, I wonder what pickup maker he ripped off. I saw that on the FU pickup page they stressed the fact that Blades uses BOTH an ALNICO AND CERAMIC! I am thinking Bare Knuckle as the Juggernaut has both Alnico and ceramic magnets. They also say Blades trademarked a winding process?

a trademark is a logo or name. Perhaps a patent would be applicable, but he’d get his ass handed to him in court. Sounds like a group of douchebags hyping up shit they didn’t invent

HAHAHAHAHAHA merrry Christmas it's a BLADES thread!! Lol.

I wouldn't be surprised if this allegiance sinks FU Tone altogether.
Blades is the Kiss of Death.

I can't remember what pickup it was, I think it was a DiMarzio that had both Alnico and ceramic magnets. And IIRC this was a very common pickup.

And yeah, might as well just flip all your customers a bird with that collab.

Self proclaimed “Master Tattoo artist”

Man, if that's true he'd be out o bidness real quick, and be open to a lawsuit that would shut everything down. Amps and all. Ugh. Not only is he a risk of bodily harm with his amps, but Hep B/C? HIV is easier to treat than Hep C....

What does this even mean?? From the Blades Facebook page.

"Some amps are found on the shelf just like bread & canned peas.
Some amps are BUILT for the Owner.
We Love having Elite Tones rather than canned Fuzz."

I NEED to know what the hell this means...!
Does my amp need peas??
Do I need custom canned peas?
WHAT IS THIS???
What about the bread.........!??

It's a canned pea holder and a toaster.

I learned a few months ago that BB’s shop is actually in my town. I’ve talked to him in the past not knowing who he was or his history. We spoke nothing about gear or tattoos. I have to be honest, he was actually a really nice guy.

Yea, a nice guy with skeletons in the closet.

I think he doesn't know whether to wind his ass or scratch his watch. I mean when you are comparing groceries to a circuit you copied, it defies any logical conclusion.
