Has anyone else noticed the new line of posters and art prints over on the Fender Merchandise webpage?

http://www.fenderusa.com/store/fender_artehouse.php

Some very cool stuff for the collectors and Fender history buffs. Being an engineer, I especially like the "Patent Document" prints.

What I find very interesting is that about a month ago, we here on the Forum had an extensive thread on just this subject (search ::Vintage Fender Ads:: ). This thread contained many of the ads that are now being offered as posters as well as requests from forum members as to where they might find copies of their favorite old ad copies. I myself posted the patent drawing I found researching the US Patent office website for Leo Fender related patents that is used in the Strat "patent document" print. I have been planning on creating a couple of framed collages of Leo's original patent drawings for the office.

So, this got me to wondering. Is it mere coincidence that this is being offered now, or is it a matter of the Fender merchandising folks paying attention to and making decisions based on what goes on here in the Forum? I would like to think its the latter since 1.) We represent a key merchandising demographic, we love Fender and we buy stuff!, and 2.) There are no coincidences.

Either way, this is some very nice Fender artwork which will hopefully find its way onto many Fender fan's walls.

First of all, YES! I had not noticed this before and I am very stoked to see the Art House section on the Fender website.

I started the ::Vintage Fender Ads:: thread initially because I was looking for a particualr old ad. That ad, "The World's Favorite Flying Machine," is not up yet, but this geves me hope.

WTG Fender. :D
