guys the fender custom shop has made three new guitars to honor the forces/heroes who helped around during 9/11 here are the guitars:

before you come to any big conclusion check out this URL:

http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fendercustomshop.com%2Findex.php%2Fnews%2Farticle%2F9_9_11_9_11_tribute%2F&h=GAQCkj4Lk

i'm posting this because the fender facebook page has been showing many controversy towards these guitars... what do you guys think of these guitars? i find them to be an honorable tribute to the heroes of 9/11 i find the donation to be an honorable act and as some people posted i do not find these guitars to honor terrorism at all

Sorry, I don't read whole article. I thought that they will sell them and donate the money to some foundation or something.

NYPD, FDNY, but what is the third one? Also NYPD or is it Port Authority?

I am at work so I can't look at the Facebook link (Facebook blocked).

Good looking guitars and probably one of the best way a guitar maker can honor fallen heros.

Completely well intentioned I'm sure. And an altrustic gesture.

I would actually be quite happy to own one of these.

The happenings in New York, on that day and the further tragedies generated as a consequence of this pointless attack will be much on my mind tomorrow.

me too this day changed my life for more than one reason i still remember that day i was 9 years old still living in toronto at the time... i got news of the first attack by my 4th grade teacher she had family in new york so i guess she was worried and just wanted to let it out... a few minutes later my mom picked me up cause on the news they were asking parents in toronto to pick their kids up from school (i was 9 years old i didn't get how bad it was) by the time i got home news of the second attack on the second tower came by that time i saw how bad things were... i still remember the fear of the next days of a second attack the confusion behind what happened it really did change the world....
