Because Fender hasn’t been about making music in a loooong time.

Fender has always maintained it wants to find collaborative ways to allow its rivals to continue making the disputed instruments.

Of course, they want a cut

I doubt Fender's case will stand They too have been copying from others different solutions over the years For example the contoured neck joint (dunno the exact name in english), i don't think they invented it but they have models using it.

That... looks an awful lot like the Donner NHL- or HLX-500 body except for the electronics panel. https://ca.donnermusic.com/cdn/shop/files/7_b9fe6e58-e38b-4173-9227-937be9c16d29.jpg?v=1762832020&width=400 Right down to the wood, which is okoume (I have one.)

I'm not saying it's a Donner, obviously, I'm saying it looks like an existing style being produced from okoume, so maybe there were production reasons for the shape.
