FNA

[Pepper Wadman]

I hope I don't get flamed for this, but what does the "fna" stand for in the fna jazzman corvette model?

 

[Grgzilla]

Officially,it stands for Fine Nice Axe.

But unofficially it's F#*king Not Altus.
The FNA was going to called the Altus,but there was a conflict of naming rights.

lol oh.

Thanks for the info Greg! I was thinking something ridiculous like "Front Neck Active" lol.

That gives me an interesting bass idea with 1 active 1 passive pickup....probably not really useful but interesting nevertheless.

 

[Pedro]

Gotta say i thought it might be a little more technical than 'fine nice axe'...neva mind.

Well, see, there-in lies the problem.

It's not "FNA"

but rather, "F'N A"

There was a typo somewhere in the
translation.

:lol:

 

[woodchuck]

And to think, this all started with a lawsuit threat from Chevrolet over the name "Corvette".

I'm sure Leo told GM they could "shove it up their F'NA"
when GM noticed he was building and selling StingRays.
So, I contend that "FNA" actually entered the music biz
lexicon thru the MusicMan company. ` ` ` ` ` ` `

Both "stingray" and "corvette" are common nouns, long
pre-existing all the manufactured products that use the
words as their trade names or model names ..... unless
you consider Coast Guard or Naval Escort vessels to be
manufactured products .....
