I do remember buying *something* Fender licensed that had a slip of paper *inside* it (ie. only visible *after* purchase) that said something to the effect "This is a Fender licensed part, and may only be used on a genuine Fender guitar" - however, I cannot for the life of me remember what it was....

... however, I am amused that you can get genuine Fender neck-plates, complete with "Fender Corona" or the big "F" logo, from AxesRus, etc., without any such restrictions...  I often use these on my self-builds (and pay the extra £10 over a generic part) just so I can point at is as being "the only genuine Fender piece of the entire guitar".

... and no, I don't put Fender logos on the head-stock - nor any other logo in fact - I can't be arsed....

IANAL, but I don't think that slip of paper can be binding on consumers. You're not knowingly buying a counterfeit and you can't be infringing a trademark by owning a genuine product.
