Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		Reminds me of a story I was told about "Harley Davidson" beer.

Some folks were going to a "Gathering" (Daytona, Sturgis, Laconia... pick one)
And they stopped at a quickie-mart along the way where they had Harley Davidson brand beer.
And it was the same price as any other cheap beer...
So they bought two cases... just cuz it was there.
Once they got to the camp grounds they started drinking.
And this beer was NASTY.
But people were offering them money for empty cans, like a dollar or three a can.
Or, more money for full cans.
So those nasty beers ended-up paying for themselves, and gas.
But the beer was still nasty.

I don't know if this was the actual beer can... I just grabbed a jpg.

Also... Fender wants $500 for a 5L bottle of Zinfandel?
They have 4L Boxes of Zinfandel at my local Safeway for $13...
and you don't have to pay deposit on the bottle.

I'm sure the crap's every bit as stellar as the mexican and asian made guitars they're named after.

I wonder... how many New Hartford paychecks and pensions did it take to fund this ridiculous venture?

Location: Central Massachusetts		MWoody could probably make you a cutting board shaped like an ovation. It may have a neck, bridge, strings, and knobs attached.

Talk about an identity crisis! Kinda makes you wonder about their pricing philosophy for guitars...Fxxxxr must be getting desperate...hey, maybe they'll start thinking about letting Ovation go. That's gotta have better prospects than selling a custom shop Zinfandelocaster to the sophisticated wine connoisseur. It seems Fxxxxr has completely forgotten their roots...
