There's nothing about this that would normally appeal to me. It's bloody brilliant. 

I have three QSC CP8s. Loud, clean, wide dispersion, light, dependable and versatile. I use 'em for mains (paired with a small EV sub), floor wedges, and FRFR for guitars and synths. Did I mention they sound great?

The RC Boost (2-button version) is the only pedal I use in tandem with my multi-effect as an always on front-end sweetener. Not louder, no noticeable mid cut/boost, just...better! I miss it when it's not there.

You nailed it! Marquee Moon is kind of its own sub-genre.  The only other recording I've heard that taps into it is the menacing and much more obscure "Moonhead" by Thin White Rope, the title track being a masterpiece of rock guitar interplay that slowly builds tension to a glorious climax...

Same here, even though I haven't used a Fender amp for years. My son (a composer and bassist in a regularly gigging local band) laughs at me when I get a new guitar rig (amp based, stomps, plugins, whatever) and spend hours and hours recreating my same old favorite tones.

I performed with the GT-1000CORE on a very compact board (Voodoo Labs Dingbat Tiny) with just a Boss FS-7 dual foot switch and an Xotic RC Boost V2 front end, going straight to the mixing board, monitored with a QSC CP8. I used the BandHelper app to select songs and pre-configure the GT-1000CORE...

I blame the guy I sold it to. B)  

I've been using modeling amps for many years. I've tried a some with NAM captures, but the latency that technology introduces makes me feel disconnected from my guitar. I've been enjoying the Boss GT-1000 and more recently the Boss VG-800 that introduce less than 1 ms of latency, and the amp...

That 30th is an amazing guitar.

Besides being a brilliant debut, it is one of the greatest guitar duo albums ever. 

Thank you, Ted!

Cool guitars, just not $8500 USD cool.  https://www.chicagomusicexchange.com/products/gavilan-miramonte-reverse-silverburst-light-relic-serial-2566061

I assume that Fender went after the name "Danocaster" because they were trying to protect the "XXXcaster" IP associated with a guitar. So that's back to trademark law - protecting Fender's rights to the name in the US, even if they can't protect the shape.  As LucSulla pointed out, there are...

The legal strategy would be for Fender to go after some of the small fish first and win some cases for relatively small money, which would establish a trail of precedent and make the bigger fish think twice about challenging them.
