(4,762 posts)for producing knockoff Gibson and Fender clones for cheap prices and had to radically change headstock designs after that. So 80s I guess. Interestingly the "pre lawsuit" Ibanez copies were excellent quality and are collectors items now.
Anyway that's how I know Fender owns a patent for headstock shape and I am sure that is why the one on the poster is styled like a mandolin or something.
Interestingly they don't own patents on body shapes!

I guess wood shop lasted into the 80s lol. I'm sure it's gone now.
The good thing about being an old man with a day job is you can afford any guitar you want.
The sad part is all the guys you played with start dying.

My electives were wood shop, auto, and drama throughout high school. They still offer them all.
