I was looking up 'Big Bertha' SWRs two 15 cab some may remember a scene with Derek Smalls from the movie 'Spinal Tap' with Big Bertha. Before the site upgrades, one could redirect from the 'Other Product' page directly to the product information site. ?

That is sooooooo funny to me because the fate of the "Other Products" page was discussed by my team literally during the final sequence of the site and without even knowing it you've just given a solid argument for why it needs to remain. We've treated the other brands on the main Products page (try clicking simply on 'Products' without selecting a product line), but the page you're referring to is actually even built and ready to go and it's right here. Anyone else want to see this page return?

Brad,

My vote is to return it. Make things easy for us to compare/find other goodies we are looking for.

Thanks!

OK, so we have two in favor. Anyone opposed?

I completely agree, makes things easier.

Is it me or did the pickups/parts section disappear?

Thanks and to be clear, I'm not going to make the decision to post or not repost this page entirely based on this thread -- but it's always helpful when in meetings about such matters to pull in direct quotes from consumers about the topics in question, as you can imagine! So ... if you'd like to have your quote featured in an upcoming Fender meeting, feel free to post away. :-0

Yes, and that's essentially the counter-argument right there -- in fact, it could potentially be downright confusing to some visitors who are not familiar with the FMIC family of brands

On the overview products page (when you just click on products without selecting a specific section) every section on that page has it's own section except for the other brands. It seems inconsistent to leave it out.

Perhaps instead of calling the page "Other Brands," you could alleviate confusion with a title like "The Fender Family of Musical Brands." 8)
