Cheeky!

The original


Tongue is obviously slightly in cheek here as obviously I just borrowed from various Fender design for the Faux back in 2007 I think. But I do wonder if Fender saw it here.

Maybe chatgpt up a cease and desist letter and fire it their way?

totally dig that design though

I forwarded this thread to fender's lawyers and cc'd in the fbi and they say they're assembling a squad of legal goons right now to sue you for defamation

both versions (Hurb's and theirs) are cool AF

Yeah, love these.

Maybe the upper horn on the Squier one is a tad too pointy? Splitting hairs though. Want one.

People at Fender definitely read Offset and probably Shortscale.

It's an interesting guitar. But then my penis looks eerily like a telecaster headstock and I'm afraid they'll force me to chop it off, film myself flushing it down the toilet and then send them $500k because Leo Fender invented human penises in 1949. I'll try to stay away from them and their products as much as possible because I still like my penis.

Fuck Fender. Buy Harley Benton.

I wonder how long before all big company guitars are designed by AI.

That.

Is a fucking nice guitar. I know they've blatantly copied Hurb, but come on... How could you not?

I did see this and passed it by but I didn't realise it was actually a short scale length. So, not that it matters because I have children and therefore no disposable income (and even if I did, there are things I need to buy for fatherly duties before guitars.... I think...?) but that fact makes me more interested than I already was, which was very interested.

keeping my powder dry for this

Yeah, I think Fender copied the upper horn on Albert Lee's signature guitar. Music Man should send them a cease and desist.

I Remember Hurbs guitar from way back! I thought I saw those but didn't pay much attention to spec or details. Im positive that someone affiliated with fender used to cruise chat boards. ALL THOSE YEARS ago when I was pumping out shitty copy fender bodies there was one that ended up in the wrong hands, or the wrong person saw it, or I talked to the wrong person. I don't remember honestly, other than I think I got a letter, or maybe it was just an email. basically a "cool story bro, stop selling your stuff as "FENDER"

Guitar Center are currently taking submissions for a "you submit it, we own it and you can't sue" guitar model they plan on selling.

Just ordered the blue one from Sweetwater. Got an email saying it will ship July 24

Sweeeet

New squier 51 has 4 different shades of white paint and unmatched hardware. Giving me all kinds of bad juju, mojo, and vibe.
