My thoughts are this. If you play live and someone sees you playing and thinks "That guy on guitar is great, I must get myself a Fender Telecaster" then you've done Mr. Fender a favour.

Others will chip in, I'm sure. You're going to get those who accuse you of deception, fraud, cheating, misrepresenting Fender products, etc., blah, blah.., other who think it's OK and others like me who don't give a hoot.

It's up to you. Once you've read through the threads, been emotionally beaten up and accused of all things under the sun, you decide! However, it is Christmas and the soap boxes may have been put away for the holidays!

I completely agree.
