I still find it odd to tape over it though. I could understand removing it or painting over it or something but the tape thing surely looks just as bad or worse.
I really like his playing, he’s on some great sounding tracks, and a “core series” Mira is a great guitar, but that seems like a hell of a lot of money for one...

BMW even charge to have it removed.

Unless it is done for an "in joke" or some other tongue in cheek reason there is zero point in doing anything like this!
The people who know about these things will know what it is anyway, regardless of any tape placement and those that don't know will not be affected anyway.
(Steve plays the part of the devils guitarist Jack Butler in the film)
Basically, except from some of the artists who very specifically play a different brand, most others used fenders. Most of the backing band members and nearly all of the bassists. A lot of the artists themselves too.
Made me wonder if fenders are just ubiquitous in that scene or if that's what fender want people to think so pay for it to happen.
I've heard that story too. I suspect it's bollocks. Almost certainly the boring reality will be down to product placement where Fender will have paid for it and Jackson won't
Most music-related films seem to have product placement/endorsement deals. I remember there were an awful lot of Gibsons in School of Rock.
Conversely, that Hendrix film with Andre 3000, I don't think you ever see him with an actual Fender guitar.... and there are no songs written by Hendrix on the soundtrack.
I think that was down to the Hendrix estate refusing to licence any Hendrix songs for the film. Hence the bit toward the end at the Savoy Theatre they conveniently pick the opening number he played - Sgt. Pepper.
