lol Louisiana cousins of my wife have a baby bottle with Coca Cola in it for the 18 month old

It does suck to hop into that thread looking for injury updates and surly takes and find instead 12 pages of meta arguments shit flinging from decades old shaggy feuds.

They should make a Michael Kors RAV4

Right, but this is what I'm doing a poor job of trying to get you to explain to me - in the fictional case of Elon putting Patagonia branding on a Cyber Truck to try and win back granola EV buyers, that would be clearly deceptive to the consumers. You keep saying that people wouldn't be confused and think that Patagonia is now making cars - of course not. But they would still be confused about the involvement of Patagonia and all that that means to them, and may make a choice to buy the product that they wouldn't have made without the deceptive use of the trademark. It's maybe a bit harder imagine that someone might do that with a $100k purchase but it would be easy with some normal consumable - to customers, Patagonia means ethically source and eco-friendly and durably made and perhaps some kind of guarantee and even that the profits go to some environmental organization. If someone puts that Patagonia logo on some non-outdoor clothing related consumable and I quickly choose to buy the one from the company that makes durable eco-conscious products with a lifetime guarantee and profits that benefit fighting global warming but it turns out that this is a bottom of the barrel cheap piece of shit drop-shipped from the coal burning plastics factory in Shenzhen, have I not been deceived into purchasing the wrong product? What I don't understand from your point is the limits of what a trademark should protect - it should only be used to prevent confusion over who manufactured a physical product in the core business of the entity holding the trademark?

The value of a brand is reputational, which is broader than the quality of the products it manufactures if it even manufactures products. A Patagonia branded Cyber Truck (better example) would damage the Patagonia brand (because of the confusion about association) with Patagonia’s core market.

If there were Hummers for sale on the lot covered in Patagonia branding, are you guys saying that you would make no assumption that Patagonia, the clothing and lifestyle brand associated with the branding on the Hummer, had anything to do with the Hummer?

A little “before” on the p bass. I should’ve had him keep the fretboard chud

Alright, so I have to say - the hello kitty strat, it's a lot of fun and I'm really impressed with it as a Squier. I think it is supposed to be a "classic vibes" level Squier per what I've read on the internet - it is well intonated, it's really stable, the tuners are pretty nice, it has nice action, the finish is great. I'm impressed. It has a glossy neck which is not the choice I'd make generally but it's not difficult to move around on. My daughter typically stays out of my office, i need to put it away because she is not big enough for it yet but it'll be game over if she sees it - it should go hide in the closet for a few years. But, also - i think I kinda like having a stripped down strat like this. Maybe I should get a charvel or something if she does end up taking the kitty strat. Also though, she is definitely a lefty (like me) but I'm afraid she may be a full on guitar lefty (unlike me). Which will make sharing guitars harder. Also, one of the other guitars I got back from the luthier was my old dirnt p bass that i played forever and toured with. I'm trying to get my chops back up. I'm really bummed that the one guitar I've actually abused enough to have self-relic'd just had a shitty poly finish. I had considered replacing the body. Just cause it would be kinda fun to do, it would be like a new bass, maybe there's some metaphorical stuff going on there, and also I could keep the things I liked about that bass (neck, pickup, maybe the bridge) and upgrade the other stuff. Curious on thoughts, if this is cool like it is, or... I had played with the idea of getting a standard p bass body in nitro tahitian coral, something like this - maybe a little bit of relicing on it and no covers. although it would be the weird thing of the standard p body with the tele p neck, like this -
