Foney Fender for sale on Aussie ebay

man, that thing looks horrid. hilarious

 

Oh no, he lives in the same state as me.

 

So do several million others. And it seems they were all on the M5 earllier tonight.

 

how apt is it that he "doesn't know much about guitars"

 

Third time I've been through the Lane Cove tunnel tonight, and there was not a soul in there. Just like the two previous times.

 

It's a Pretender Fender.

 

At least he's not claiming that it's a vintage Fender or anything. In fact, he's not even claiming it's a Fender. But $550 for a blatant knock off? That's a bit steep.

 

Has the add been "updated"?? Doesnt mention the word fender at all. Way too expencive for a cheap copy though.

This is why I live in Melbourne!! Was up in Sydney about 3 weeks ago & spent most of my time stuck in traffic, late for gigs! Even the toll roads were jammed! Must admit, I like the new lane cove tunnel!

Cheers,

hijackin here but man - melbournes traffic ain't too good either

 

I checked that out the first time when they put it up and it looked wrong, especially the sticker, neck everything.. don't remember if it actually said Fender in the listing.
I am actually in the market for a P or J so luckily I know enough not to bid

 

Isn't there a law against stuff like that?? That's outright blatant destruction against the fender name in a public place :scowl:

 

I saw that ad a couple of day's ago and he did claim it was a fender mia.

 

Well the seller never declared it as a Fender, so he's not really doing anything wrong.

 

Actually, even if he says it's a knock off it's still against the rules. There's copyright infrigement involed in the improper use of the logo. So it's not kosher.

 

Besides the logo, how can you tell it's not the real deal? Or, better put, how can 'one' tell it's not authentic in the general case?

For one thing, I never buy music or specialised gear from someone who doesn't know anything about it - except in the case where it's obvious they don't know anything because the price is so low.
