Hi,

As I wrote in an other topic already, we should not forget what happened already once in Fenders history when "Investors" ran the company. People with conviction, love and passion for the brand had to save it. People come and leave a company that is normal.

Nevertheless, in business, people leaving a company in good or bad terms are at least always thanked with an announcement. I haven't seen one which at least says thank you for all the hard work.

Why am I scared? I'll make it short..

Fender prepared itself for an IPO, then stopped the IPO process.
Debt for Hundreds of millions of dollars are due this year.
Instead of public investors, the company was invaded by private investors
These are measures called "restructuration ".. I call it cost cutting
All this this .. with a CEO which, and this is my humble opinion.. loves the dollars and not the brand..

Well.. I hope I am wrong.



Why are you scared? Do you work for Fender?
There are many great Strats and Teles on the market, there is no shortage on great Fenders.

I do not work for Fender and I am sure that there are and will be always great guitars around.

Good observation. I've said, elsewhere, that Fender is in competition with itself. All that will happen is what occurred in the CBS-era. If the quality of or interest in current production falters, that which is currently in the pipeline you cite will be in greater demand, and bring a better price.
