The Shark

No, it's a way to keep people from using your strap...

The first song I ever played and sang in my first band was Get Ready by April Wine. There are at least thirty really good songs on the albums I bought. Myles was one of my favorite singers and he was a sneaky good guitar player. Don't make me make a list...

I most certainly will, but there's already a line...

RIP, sir. Always one of my favorite guys here. Dementia/Alzheimer's just sucks. My 67 year old sister barely knows me. Smartest person I ever met. God bless his family.

He can wear anything, but please don't let him sing...

I, for the record, don't think you paid too much if you really wanted it. Not trying to be a dick.

Atta' kid. I've paid too much for some of the best guitars on the planet (IMHO). I let their market value "catch up" to what I paid. Enjoy!

A great price.

Nice...Looks like my Chandler Telepathic featured in Guitar Player. I wonder if GP has liability for promoting the guitar all those years ago.

Danocaster is not changing their name. Not sure where you got that idea.

The one in my band does.

Exactly my question. Do they really think they can accomplish the goal of licensing those that build "Strats" or putting them out of business? This, at best, will result in selective litigation. I remember when Dan Strain told me about the Fender letter he received. They didn't like the "Freakin' Danocaster" logo font and his headstock. He changed both. They never sent a letter to many of the boutique "S" builders on TGP, but they went after Dan. I just hope they leave me and Kizanski alone in their selective outrage. But lots of my family, friends, bandmates and clients are attorneys!

Tell 'em to F'off...

Precisely. No vigorous defense until now? These "letters" are worth the paper they're written on. Fender won't spend the legal dough to go after a guy that makes sixty guitars a year. They just won't. I'm an accountant for 31 years. They would be throwing money away, unless they go after large companies making thousands of "Strats" and "Teles".

My point is the ridiculousness of Fender's claim to a design they didn't defend for decades. Attorneys here know what I mean by that. Fender has ten fingers and there are eleven holes in the boat...

And one more Danocaster...

I guess Crooks is out of business because of the "letter"...

Well, we don't have to worry about threatening G&L...

A Robin "original"...

Another Danocaster breaking the "rules"...

A Charvel 25th Anniversary Edition that got away...

I'm guessing Schecter will be getting the letter. Too late for this one...

An All-Parts licensed body and neck painted by my buddy with Slider's tele pickups (Crooks uses them on occasion)...
