Tim Pierce - Fender Commits Brand SUICIDE

Fair or unfair is irrelevant.

Is it legal or not, that is question and the only thing that matters because "no one is above the law" right?

I am more of a Gibson dude but I have a Fender Professional II in Miami Blue that I really dig. Longest i've ever kept a Strat. I don't understand why they felt it was necessary to do this. Most serious musicians don't want a copy of a Stratocaster, they want an actual Stratocaster. Nobody playing Yngwie scales wants the PRS Silver Sky in yellow.

Can people fucking read anymore or understand a joke?

My favorite color is mashed potatoes.

You're not helping Mike. I just planted some Adirondack Blues in my garden a couple days ago.

If you want to sell guitars with your name on them, use your own design.

I respect Tim Pierce but tbh I don't SEE a lot or many boutique stuff better than some Fender Custom Shops Ive seen or Charvel Custom Shops......


Different yes but better..... Plus all this shit only applies to Europe and Europeans who are already well off and could afford many of these stupid expensive guitars either way buying them direct through a US dealer or store.


This stuff doesnt Apply to the US market or Americans.

Maybe this is funny to me because I’m from Detroit, but

Fender just became the new Chrysler

I agree, as evidenced by my avatar photo

Ernie ball has done well with that, SUHR has the modern and the Oso is different enough.

Some builders at least have a few models that don’t look like a Strat or a tele.

PRS and others making pretty much Les Pauls are sure going to love it when Gibson catches wind of this.....


And well Fender is ahead of the curve here.....

Pretty stupid that Gibson don't do similar if they could IMO
