Does any know for sure what is the status of Fender?
I have heard:
a) that they have gone out of business.
b) they they have been bought up by someone else.
If so, are we going to see a change as radical as the pre-CBS
Fenders vs. the Fenders of today? Does anyone know the name
of this company. (if is is some japanese company, then we are
in trouble. I have seen the "Squire" Strats (Squire is Fender
made in Japan) and they are real garbage compared to a "real"
Strat.)
Also, anyone have a Schecter? They supposedly made Strats and
Tele's better than Fender itself! There's a store on 48th St.
in NYC called Rudy's that sells them, if anyone cares to check
them out.
How bout a net.music.real, as opposed to this net.music.talk?
