Dear Suits, We Object.

Earlier this year, Fender used a German court ruling to claim ownership of a guitar shape whose patent expired back in 1968 — a shape that Leo Fender himself went on to build again for his next company. But that hasn't stopped Fender the corporation. They sent cease and desist letters to their smaller competitors and demanded massive fines.

This isn't a fight against counterfeiters, it's a war against competition.

We, the players, object.

About Us

We're designers for a living, and musicians for life. When we read about Fender debacle, we wanted to make something to give other musicians a voice, and a way to come together, to express our dissent about this kind of predatory behavior.

If you're as frustrated as we are with the situation, let the suits know you object.

Rock on.
