Default Fender Custom Shop guitars - in honor of 9/11
Quote:
The Fender Custom Shop is proud to present a 9/11 Tribute Stratocaster set made in honor of the first responders to the World Trade Center, September 11, 2001.


What does OT think? I think they're kinda ugly but like the idea.

I don't know, man.

To me, that just screams "we're taking advantage of the event to make a buck."

I love the idea, but less than stellar on the execution.

I don't like the idea, and the guitars are ugly.

if they raise money from them that goes directly and 100% to the "Wounded Warriors" project then I'm ok with it.

Their timing releasing them make it suspect.

I don't have a problem with the idea, but I think the designs are horrible.

I'd like it better if they were giving away a few dozen of them to the kids that lost their Dads that were

police, and firefighters, and such.

Bad taste. Bad execution. I don't want to bum people out when I play. Why would I want to remind my audience of that day?

Guy in Audience: "yeah, let's get it on! I'm ready"
(sees 9/11 guitar)
Guy in Audience: "oh yeah, 3000 Americans are dead. Some jumped to their death. ****."
(sits down and leaves 10 minutes later).
Club owner: "You guys didn't keep people here. I'm not paying you."
Band: "You moron! What were you thinking when you bought that guitar? What next, a guitar with an American getting their head cut off?"
