Fender Picked A Fight With PRS — And It's About To Backfire

In 2014, John Mayer walked away from Fender. Four years later he returned with the PRS Silver Sky — a guitar that went on to outsell the Stratocaster itself in 2022 and 2023. Now Fender has sent it a cease and desist letter. And the real reason has nothing to do with copyright. In this video I break down why Fender waited eight years to go after the Silver Sky, why their own stated criteria don't even apply to it, and why PRS is the one company with the money and the motivation to take this all the way to court. What's covered: — Why Mayer left Fender in 2014 — How the Silver Sky outsold the Stratocaster — Why Fender's "close copy" claim falls apart — The lawyer who already beat Fender once — What Leo Fender himself never did No sponsorships. No protected reputations. Tell me in the comments: does PRS take this all the way to court, or does Fender back down before a judge ever sees it? #fender #prs #silversky
