Would you be saying the same thing if FMIC had never bought Jackson / Charvel, and they were suing them to stop making the Strat, Soloist, and Dinky body styles? They're all derivatives of the original strat, after all. Not to mention Gibson suing J/C to stop making Y2KVs, roundhorn Vs, Explorers, etc. ...Ooops, FMIC already made them stop doing those.

Re: Save the small guitar builder petition

I don't think they could have stopped Jackson from making the 7/8 size strat shape. I think there is enough difference in size to not confuse it with a real Fender Strat. [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] As for the Gibson shapes, it would have been nice for Jackson to be able to make them, but I am not all out of joint about it. I have a few Gibsons and play them just as much as my Jacksons.

Re: Save the small guitar builder petition

I can't speak for the others but I suspect that Don Grosh's body shapes and headstock profiles are different enough from Fender's to not be an issue - similar to how the Soloist is not an exact Stratocaster copy. But we shall see...

Re: Save the small guitar builder petition

I signed it, but Stuka has the right to his opinion as well. I doubt this petition will do any good, but it lets us express ourselves at least.

Re: Save the small guitar builder petition

Yeah I'd like to see Fender really fuk up and kill the Soloist and Dinky shapes [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I signed If there is enough room for all us Monkeies on this planet, there should be enough room in the guitar industry for everyone.

Re: Save the small guitar builder petition

They'd be fukking themselves, seeing that it would greatly increase the values of used Dinkys and Soloists. [img]/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img] Say!!..............

They can get 50 or 50,000 and it won't mean squat. Fender is going to try and protect their brand. No one stopped buying Fender when they enforced the Strat headstock TM in the early 80's. People aren't going to stop buying their stuff now if this succeeds. In the end the petition signers will get back to their bong, stop complaining about the man holding them down, and keep buying Fender products (since they will own most everything eventually).

Of course I could be completely wrong.

Re: Save the small guitar builder petition

I'm with Larry. We can think it sucks all day long, but that doesn't affect Fenders legal stragies one iota.

I'm as much a supporter of the small builders as anyone and I didn't even read it.
