Fender's web team welcomes you to our new Fender Lounge Forums!

Before we begin the festivities, we would first like to take a moment to acknowledge the wonderful Fender-related forums already out there that are covering this topic and covering it very well. Needless to say, our hats are off to the forum administrators and active participants who have been out there talking Fender for many years and have made acronyms like “FDP” and “TDPRI” (among others!) a part of our daily lives.

That said, we are very interested in establishing Fender.com as a true web destination in its own right this year. You’ve probably already noticed our recent cosmetic makeover, but we'd like to take it one step further. What we know will set the Fender Lounge Forums apart is the direct connection to the "mother ship," if you will. Should this community flourish over time there will be opportunities for behind-the-scenes treats and goodies the likes of which you simply won’t find elsewhere. That said, it’s all lying on your shoulders to shape this forum into a respectful, family-friendly environment. If you can do that for us then I assure you that we’ll start coming out to play with live high-profile artist chats, special member-only contests and offers, and much more.

One important point: this is an enthusiast forum – it is NOT a customer service forum nor will any customer service issues be addressed by Fender here. If you have a Fender product in need of repair or service please make use of our standard Consumer Relations channels and do not post here – your post will not receive a response from Fender. On a related note, if you ask specific questions about nuances of Fender products, the fact is that you’re very likely not going to receive a response directly from Fender here either. Keep in mind that I and the others who will be joining me in moderating these forums are members of Fender’s web staff . Ask us something about computers or website development and we’ll probably have a ready answer for you. On the other hand, ask us about the flux capacitor in a certain guitar’s wiring harness and I can virtually guarantee that you’re going to be met with a blank stare every time. :D

In summary: please be respectful with each post, please be family-oriented, and try your best to avoid customer service issues here. Abide by these simple guidelines, and the potential for what we can accomplish here together is virtually limitless. I’d ask that those of you who recognize and grasp this potential assist in helping us “self police” this area. Do so by discouraging flame wars, personal attacks, etc. If we can build a solid, friendly enthusiast community here the rewards will follow!

For the time being these forums will be opened for posting between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., and that's Arizona time. If you’re posting something at 5:25 then you’d better post quickly! :P Over time this restriction may be adjusted or lifted, though this again is dependent on the community's general adherence to the requests above.

Finally, we're leaving this note as a "sticky" post in each forum for a while along with some more generic statements of our forum rules, code of conduct, and terms of use. If you see folks straying from these basic regulations and guidelines I’d sure appreciate your help in steering them back on course.

With that out of the way: have fun, enthuse at will, and check in with us often!
