Umm, ok.

Fenders look basic anyway, they'll just start manufacturing better looking guitars.

Swapped from a strat to PRS a few years ago and it was infinitely better, plus I'm finding fender strings to have horrible value recently, burning through them in less than a month. I use D'addarios for my seven string and will probably use them across my six strings going forward.

Shit does that mean the PRS SE Silver Sky is a goner? Not a huge John Mayer fan or anything but I always thought those guitars looked awesome and wanted one for my next guitar! Fender cucking the shit out of us in 2026..

Fine, I prefer Ibanez and Jackson anyway

Oh fu... Well, I had no idea actually ahah

This all sounds silly from Fender though.

This is very amusing case knowing how common it is for these companies to plagiarize each other. Like did you know, that Marshall amps are based on Fender design and Fender was based on some other unnamed amp? Modern high gain amps are based on Soldano SLO-100, which in turn was just a juiced up Marshall. I presume they went to European court because American system is more tolerating towards this type of reverse engineering and idea theft.
