That's cool.  :)

Speaking of Fender suing, within the last few months, I've heard Fender is suing a company in Germany called Thomann for making (or selling?) guitars that are too much like their Stratocaster. Seems odd to do now, since guitar makers have been making Strat-like guitars for decades..  I heard the Fender Stratocaster body has become public domain in the US, so Fender wouldn't be able to sue guitar makers in the US for that.
