3228.0. "Tanglewood Guitars" by PCBUOA::ANDERSON_R () Tue Sep 03 1996 13:29

    I was looking at an English guitar publication this weekend that had a
    picture of a Tanglewood FST (Fender Strat Tanglewood ?) Deluxe guitar.
    It looked like a nice clone (aka Tokai, Charvel etc.) of the
    traditional Strat including the head stock shape. Anyone know anything
    about it? If it's new, how do they copy the head shape without Fender
    breathing down their neck (no pun intended :) ?

    Fender just cut a deal with somebody (Chandler I think?) to allow them
    to clone the Strat headstock shape for their replacement necks.  So
    perhaps Fender is loosening up and offering this arrangement elsewhere
    as well.
