Henry's Music launches Project DeFender after receiving a Fender letter
Henry's Music said it had received a Fender cease-and-desist letter over the ST body shape and launched Project DeFender as a collective response. The company framed the issue as one affecting not only manufacturers but also dealers across Europe, calling for affected shops and builders to coordinate rather than handle the letters in isolation.
