618 - The all new Fender agenda and will the real Josh Scott please stand up?

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 618 of the Chasing Tone Podcast -  The all new Fender agenda and will the real Josh Scott please stand up?

Brian has got some things to say about AI slop following a great reaction video from Josh Scott of JHS which resulted in him surveying some fluffy junk from the dark recesses of a random YouTube channel. It's an interesting debate as the guys have strong views about the source video, its complete lack of reliable facts, and the damage it could do. 

Meanwhile, Blake brings up one of the hottest topics of the week - Fender's current legal positioning on the copyright of the Stratocaster body. The guys have views on it but fear that this might backfire on Fender and discuss the ramifications. Richard makes terrible analogies and spreads a lie. Brian squaremarks his radius.

Richard has some interactions with a beautiful SG guitar and its famous owner, rewriting the rules. PRS have released a new special edition and the endorsee has surprised the guys a bit. There is some tongue twisting as the guys attempt to say a common guitar word.

The D*ckhead fallacy, Bullshine returns, The Chasing Tone Shoehorn award, The Art of the Stombox, Pac Man...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!
