I Fear The 'Mustang Bass' Could Be Next...

Just when you thought Fender could not get any lamer, some marketing genius came up with this:

Why would you get anything with ford written all over it like that. Or any other brand for that matter you might as well get McDonalds or Nike on it. Plus Ford doesn't have the same stigma as other brands like Jack Daniels or Harley Davidson

Why should pay to be an ad for Ford?

Didn't toby keith play a guitar like that in a ford ad?

I wouldn't want one-i'd dig one in the blue w/out the letters. If you're a die hard though-i can see someone owning one. Probably same guy that has a huge Ford truck w/anti-chevy & dodge stickers plastered on it.

With that being said-i just described half of my family.

The same reason someone would buy this... No common sense, taste, class, reasoning ability...
