jtmullet Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Hey I am needing a fender strat decal and I know I have seen some people on here who have had some printed at sign shops with a laser printers but my question is how do you do this meaning how do you get the fender strat logo for them to print or if anyone has one they'd be willing to sell it'd be much apreciated.

biliousfrog Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 where in the world are you? I believe that axesrus sells them in the UK & there's always plenty on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just do it over email now. Much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oz tradie Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 How far do these trademarks stretch? Is it just the name? i.e. Does using a different name but same font get you a slap on the wrist, too ? Nothing sinister planned, just curious as to the legal parameters in this trademark issue. cheers, Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhoads56 Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I heard, although not by anyone who i really had much faith in trusting, that they have trademarked the font, just like Coca-Cola owns the trademark of the shape the bottle it comes in.

Desopolis Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 yeah they do say on their website that they will provide decals if you jump through some hoops, pass the lake of fire, fight the Minotaur, and trick medusa with a mirror.

postal Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Does best-decal have fenders? I know they do most other brands..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhoads56 Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 You know, i never mentioned this before, because really, its not up to me to CONTINUALLY stand up against fraud on this forum, but the Fender rep i spoke to about 6 months back said that forums where in their targets, and action will soon be under way. Yep, that means our friendly admin team (mods too?) are responsible for what happens on here, and the fact they do nothing to remove posts that suggest ways of committing fraud, means they dont care. Thats not my opinion, thats Fender's, with their millions and millions of dollars they can throw around to heavy the little guys, and their crack legal teams who are bored out of their brains not doing anything useful. Doesnt bother me either way, i aint in the line of fire. I dont have a business or property to lose, cause i aint going to get hauled into the court house (regardless of it they are right or wrong) over the matter. But, you know, what do i know...

But, you know, what do i know... maybe he has a real fender, and de a refinish? or replaced the neck? from fenders website: http://fender.com/support/faq/index.php#q9 Is it possible to get a replacement decal for my old Fender instrument? In many cases, the answer is "YES!" To help us achieve the best match of available decals, take at least 4 clear photographs of your instrument, (the entire front, entire back of the instrument and a close-up of the front and back of the headstock). This will help us verify that it is indeed a genuine Fender product in need of a replacement decal, (if the instrument has the serial number stamped into the neck plate, please include a pencil "rubbing" from the neck plate showing this number). Next, take the photos along with your guitar to the nearest Authorized Fender Service Center, where they will evaluate the instrument. After comparing the instrument with the photos, they will then mail the photos and neck plate rubbing to our Product Support team in Scottsdale. Once we receive the photographs, we will try to find the most accurate decal for that instrument. We will then send the appropriate decal to the Authorized Service Center. Note: Decal availability is limited to certain models, and while Fender does not charge a fee for a replacement decal, the Fender Authorized Service Center may charge a fee for providing this service to you.
