I was watching football a couple of weeks ago on Fox and that robot that's usually doing some kind of endzone dance was playing a Strat!

The Freecreditreport.com band must have good credit. Their instruments are always changing. And yes the guitars are always Fender...Fender rules. Love them product placements.


Ditto :!: If you follow the sense of the commercials as a story line, their circumstances are obviously getting better considering the new gear. It's about time they quit the 'fish and chips' circuit and started playing for real money. When you think about it, the whole scenario is foolish. Why would anyone with enough 'chops' to play backup to a song, be a singing busboy/waiter in a restaurant?

Duh :?: :?: :?: :?

I always like it when the set decorator or the props person places the product discreetly. The audience still perceives it as Pepsi (TM) can (for instance), because enough of it is showing and it's big enough in the camera frame to be noticed. Nicer than having it pushed in your face. We get plenty of THAT kind of advertising anyhow. A shape as distinctive as a Strat is pretty identifiable so a tasteful precence is the classy way to go. In other words, it SHOULD be only the sharpest eyes that can discern the exact model, pups etc.

It seems that's the kind of nice touch people who work in the film biz tend to look for....oh, and shaking walls!

It is a good way to keep the name out there when companies do this because as you see people notice and its the people they want to notice musicians.
