In the beginning I liked the idea of "Survivor" and thought about trying out for the show. I was in great shape and know how to "survive" and catch little fish to catch bigger fish and could survive in the mud or whatever they threw at you. But then it turned into an obstacle course competition which I probably could have won as well but that just wasn't my thing. Back then I was kind of like that episode of "Gomer Pyle" where he and Sargent Carter actually gained weight on their survival camp week because Gomer knew how to catch rabbits, which by the way, you can't gain weight eating like with most fish. I remember that episode. I think he managed to catch enough fish for dinner with a stick, his shoestring, and (IIRC) an open safety pin (nope; it was his key ring).

Game of Thrones House Stark, Telecaster - $25,000 Game of Thrones House Lannister, Jaguar - $30,000 Game of Thrones House Targaryen, Stratocaster - $35,000 I find a finish/color/2D graphics treatment pretty lame: Given the beheadings, dragon-induced abductions, amputations, disembowlings, and castrations of the series, and the 3D death metal electric guitars on the market, they could have done much better with more violence and shock value that honors the art design of the series. A stock Strat with a tweed paint job and an oxidized copper finish? Gimme a break!

And the problem with this guitar project is that you have to appeal to Fender fans AND fans of that show AND wealthy people with money to burn on crap no one needs. A market segment with that kind of intersectionality (a term I hesitate to use because I loath the context in which it's usually found) may be difficult to come by.

ArnieZ Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Clearly Fender is trying to take advantage of the popularity of GOT. Thorn needs to find something to make his mark with Fender and apparently this piqued his interest. For me the guitars are MEH! But my Thorn Grantura is as good as any guitar I have ever played!
