Wow, that's really classy.

I can't say that I'm a fan of having a Fender logo on a non-Fender instrument, but I love the matching sunbursted headstock. :icon_biggrin:

Very nice geetar, but there is one problem, you put a "F" sticker on it. Why give "F" all the credit for that fine piece of wood and metal, they've never made one that nice.... :icon_biggrin:

 

[bbl4ck]

That JazzMaster is sweeeet  :headbang1:
That is going to be hard to beat!
For my taste anyway...

That's a recurring subject here.  I personally don't see what the big deal is.  It's a Fender body shape and Fender licensed headstock shape, there's obviously a Fender influence and wanting about it by default.  On silhouette shape alone, it oozes Fender.  Warmoth makes Fender parts.  Why not put the logo on it?  Any hobbyist slightly familiar with a Fender would know with a casual visual inspection it isn't a Fender, and would probably get an explanation from the owner about it's origins.  Even on my non-Fender logo'd J-Bass, I hear "I got one just like that" or "Nothing sounds like a Fender" all the time.  The first words out of my mouth are usually, "It's not a Fender," followed with an explanation of how it's different....and better than a Fender.  If all else fails, just say the logo denotes the body style.
