Thanks for a great read. Looks like the bar for entry-level guitar quality just got raised.

Thanks for the article. Im ok with them expanding as long as they keep making the guitars we love.

Good article. thanks for sharing. I understand what Fender is trying to do, but sometimes it's best to stick with what made the brand successful and popular originally. A small custom shop that made hot-rodded Made in USA guitars, and that would make just about anything you could dream up. Just make the guitars that the players want. IMO this is where FMIC has failed since they took over the brand.
To me it seems like a repeat of the 80's. Once they switched production overseas, it cheapened the brand and interest eventually faded and it killed Charvel. Deja Vu all over again? Only time will tell!

Cool.
