    Fender, Lawsuits, and the Ethics of Guitar Design

    On this episode of the Westminster Effects Doxology Podcast, Cody Fields is joined by Jon Ross to discuss the recent legal battles surrounding guitar body shapes, trademarks, and intellectual property in the guitar industry. Using the latest Fender Musical Instruments Corporation controversies as a launching point, the conversation explores where legitimate brand protection ends and where corporate overreach begins. But this episode goes deeper than legal analysis. Cody and Jon also examine the theological and ethical foundations behind these actions: What does biblical justice look like in business? Can companies truly “own” shapes and designs that have become part of culture itself? And how should Christians think about property rights, competition, imitation, and stewardship in a market shaped by both creativity and commerce? Whether you're a guitarist, builder, gear nerd, or just interested in the intersection of theology and culture, this conversation tackles the deeper worldview questions underneath the headlines.
