I love what the Carvin company does. I love options. I love customizing. And you can customize an instrument at a very affordable price. But Carvin instruments aren't attractive to me. I love the look of a real Fender Jazz or P bass. I love leo fender's designs. I will always be a Fender customer. I daydream about opening a Carvin catalog, but it's actually Fender. I could get a real Jazz bass with Claro Walnut wood, stainless steel frets, different pickup options, etc... What a dream. I also play guitar, so I would love a strat with 1 3/4" nut, stainless frets, color options etc..

Then there is Warmoth. I could actually get what I want!! And it's even liscensed by FENDER!! But one problem....No Fender LOGO. You might say that it's not a big deal, but it's a big deal to me. I feel the logo adds the Fender soul into the instrument. Also improves resale value. It's a big deal to me and I'm sure most other people since I see a lot of people buy Warmoth parts and put Fender decals on the headstock to try and pass them off as real Fenders.

Maybe Fender could further their business with Warmoth and have a Fender Custom Direct operation run through the Warmoth factory since they're already set up. Or partner up with Carvin. Or open their own Custom Direct shop.

Anyone with me?

How close is the nearest Showcase Dealer to you?

It simplifies matters to have a Fender specialist as a nearby intermediary serving as a problem solver and alleviating the need to to ship you guitar back and forth to the West coast.
