Steve Browning Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 They were called quarter pounders when originally released. Don't know when the name change happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know when the name change happened. McDonald's probably has a trademark on 'Quarter Pounder' so they changed to 'Quarter Pound'. Quite what a pound has to do with it anyway I don't know, surely they should be 'Quarter Inchers'. That's not quite so macho sounding though I suppose. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) I always thought the 'Quater Pounder' term was derived from some sort of ordanance size in weight or caliber of round, HE or incendry device... like the 25 Pound Field Gun etc... I am aware of the 1/4" pole pieces used in the pickup, so aligning with some reference to impact or heft... Oh, and Gerkin OUT....

Cat Burrito Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Interestingly if you type Seymour Duncan Q into Google, it auto completes to quarter pounder. I'd never thought about it before this thread but I've never owned a Quarter Pound pickup (& don't eat McDonalds either). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All strings designed for magnetic pickups are steel, but not all are stainless. Are those STANLESS strings made for Eminem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually Stanley but it didn’t rhyme with fan and craddock may create the wrong impression like an Enid Blyton Famous five novel names 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killed_by_Death Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 There's two, because I usually catch spelling errors w/o even wanting to, I used to tell folks Chris Squire had sod-all to do with Fender's budget line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
