People, people, people. You must learn that a company can copy just about anything about a Fender guitar but two things: 1) the name (of course) and 2) the headstock, which is protected by trademark. If the only headstock that looks right on a tele-style guitar is the traditional one, then you must be Fender brand loyal.
