I've always hated Fender. This pig fuckers used to charge about 50% extra for a lefty guitar, assuming you didnt want something like a Jazzmaster, which wasn't available in lefty for decades.

Worse part is that lefty fenders always have something fucked because they put zero care into them, despite charging a premium for them.

Fender doesnt even make a good product. I've pulled strat style guitars out of dumpsters that were better than a fender.

Good luck, but they've already destroyed the name, all they have left to make money is IP, pretty sure they're only focused on this.
