seems pretty common sense to me

nice thread resurrection. We all resigned to the new JCF in Nov 02, and this thread was last posted to in Dec 02. That must be some kind of record for a thread revival!

This was a great thread to bring back! Now we all know that Matt isn't kin to Nostradamus!

I am glad the world did not actually explode.

So, why were the old JCF threads covering all this deleted? Seems we have a few too many stragglers out there in la-la-land who missed out, and it's easier to point them to those old threads than to rehash it all here - and if I have to endure one more round of "will we get Stratheads now?", I'm jumping ship for the ESPile board.

The Strathead is now and always will be, until the Earth explodes, a trademark of the Fender Stratocaster model. You will never for the rest of eternity see a production model (and maybe even Custom Shop) Strathead made by Jackson, unless by some wondrous miracle Jackson becomes independent of Fender and then buys out Fender, thus acquiring all of FMIC's trademarks, patents, copyrights, etc etc etc - which is not likely to happen in the next 1000 years.

How none of this is common sense eludes me. Simply because Fender owns Jackson and Charvel they would voluntarily make the same models (i.e. Stratheads) that were beating their sales back in the 80's? Business plans like that are great if you want to wreck a company.

Fender bought Jackson?! Shit, now they'll never make a PC-1 with a pointy headstock.
