Fender CEO Bud Cole acknowledged in a Bloomberg interview that the company's legal crackdown against 60 guitar builders over Stratocaster body shape copied "got ahead of us." Of roughly 60 companies targeted, 32 are negotiating with Fender and 18 have signed agreements. The company now claims focus on large manufacturers only, though boutique builders like LSL Instruments report no clear relief from legal threats.

So he's not admitting that he's destroying the company's legacy and future for a few quarters of short term profit.

Fuck off Bud, and when you get there, keep fucking off.
