is an F a seven?

It would make more sense if F were the 7th letter of the alphabet but after counting it out with my limited intellect I have come to the conclusion that F is the 6th letter of the English alphabet. So shouldn't that trendy spelling of Fender actually be 6ENDER?

I see no flaw in your statement.
In the pre-CBS years there were extensive discussions as to whether they should move F letter in the 7th position but it was dropped in favor of changing the Zed to Zee.
No, 7 is a T. However, and this is where people get it wrong, T is not a 7.

It is the way they write it. My name is JC Nelson. When I sign my name, the whole thing just looks like two Ns.
This would be the correct answer.

Well, F is the b7 of G, G being the 7th letter.
(b7 of 7).
If you play that note on a b-bender 7ender, you get a b7 on a bb7ender.
(b7 bb7).
Unless you parked you battleship on b7, then you have a battleship 7ender bender.
(b7 b7b).

Not to quibble, but F# is the 7th of G major. Maybe you meant G7 (Dominant) rather than G major.
The '7' resembles the script F, in Fender.
All employees are required to memorize the entire alphabet.
Do schools no longer teach cursive writing?
