What's that quote about "Jacksons can say f*ck?"

[PowerTube]

I seem to remember that when FMIC bought Jackson some years ago, a Fender rep was quoted as saying something like....

"This is a great acquisition for us because the thing is, Fender guitars can only say 'darn it.' Jacksons can say 'F*ck.'"

Does anyone have the actual quote and/or know who said it?

John Walker.

John Walker.

Wrong, Ritchie Fliegler.

"So, we bought Jackson, guitars that can say F**K instead of darn-it."

Ritchie Fliegler - Vice President Fender Musical Instruments Corp. 12-29-03

Eh, close enough. John was the product manager at the time, and our contact to the mothership. I remembered it as him. Thankfully, life has continued in the face of my misquote!
