If there are groups discussing this for which I have no link, please email me so I can update. That said, so long as Nash and other similar builders of Fender-style guitars are clear that they are not selling or marketing 'Fender' guitars, I'm not sure that Fender minds that much. The attorney at fender is at: those who wish to read public forums discussing this, here are some links (including Spain!) If you have strong feeling on this, please take a minute to email your opinion to Fender - it will have more impact than you think.

I am buying licensed bodies and necks, for which Fender gets a royalty. In fact they are specifically buying from me as it is NOT a Fender. I have not confused the marketplace as anyone that buys from me knows they are not buying a Fender. No matter what you play or how you play it, we make a guitar that youll love. Trademark law is there to make sure that there is no confusion in the marketplace. Nash Guitars From Nash: Nash Guitars was started in 2001.
