..of course #CBS bought Fender from Leo in 1965 and pretty much made a mess of things for awhile... but the brand stumbled along under its own momentum for a bit..

#Gibson has also traded hands a number of times.... with varying results..

Good rundown in this massive & massively damaging cockhole move by Fender, a company I will never, ever support or view favorably again.

In addition to everything else, this a also shitting on Fender's own legacy - one might hope it kills them; they'd certainly deserve it, but generations of craftsmanship & tradition will go down with them.

Fuck corporate, capitalist greed & fuck the lawyers aiding & abetting it.

So, by now, if you are at all paying attention to the #MusicalInstrument industry, particularly the #guitar industry, you will almost certainly have heard that in March 2026, a court in Düsseldorf, Germany, ruled that #Fender possesses #copyright in the design of the #Stratocaster guitar, and that this week, Fender's IP troll law firm, Bird & Bird, has sent hundreds of cease and desist letters to manufacturers and retailers all over the EU with a list of egregiously outrageous demands.

I hear Fender is Cease&Desist-ing every maker of S-type guitars on Thomann's site. AND requiring they destroy their inventory.

I watched a documentary about the Boston Tea Party.
Apparently folks were fed up with the East India Company chiseling away at them with fees and taxes on tea.
It won't happen, but I'm imagining someone throwing the contents of a whole container ship of Squires into a harbor, in protest.
Seriously, duck #Fender

Strong and reliable marine fender! ⚓🛥️ Thick PVC feels durable and gives great protection when docking 👍 Easy to set up and handles bumps really well. Solid quality for everyday boating use 😄🌊 #Boating #MarineGear #BoatLife #Fishing #Fender

Absolute dick move by Fender 🤬 only makes me happier that I went with PRS...

It's a perfect example of how to suck as an IP-riding business; Fender doesn't want to make the guitars we want to play, but they also don't want anyone else to make them for us.

John Mayer asked Fender first & they refused to make the guitar he wanted because "it wouldn't be a Strat", but when PRS makes it for him, it suddenly IS a Strat? Fuck off, Leo.
