Muun muassa Lentz ja Nash -kitaranvalmistajat ovat joutuneet lopettamaan Tele ja Strato-kopiokitaroidensa valmistamisen, koska Fender on uhannut viedä oikeuteen.
Fender tells Lentz to Cease and Desist T and S types
From the Lentz Site yesterday..
"I have been contacted, as to the making of the 2 pup and 3 pup model of my guitars. I will no longer advertise,take orders, or make these guitars immediately!It is not my intent to blame or talk poorly of this action, It is my wish that my friends not go on forums and speak ill of this action! I will not address this matter on my forum or discuss this matter further on the phone. I will as always accept refinishing and some repair, until the new designs have been checked out by an Attorney!
I ask for your patience and understanding through this difficult time,
Scott Lentz
Lentz Electric Guitar"
AND
Nash guitars, builder of Fender clones from Allparts parts, has been told to stop making them. (The page was taken off, but here's the link anyway:
