My question is, you can see the Fender logo on the headstock and the Vox logo on the amp. Is it copyright infringement to have these things visible in the photo?? I'm not terribly concerned because it will just be for his small studio but I just want to be sure in case he wants to use the image as a flyer or something.
BTDT Maybe could be accused of trying to trade on (profit from) their name, but not likely. The worst that can happen is that you will get a cease and desist order. You take it down, they're happy. All good.
