I was watching the BBC World News on PBS tonight, and they had a few items about the U.S. economy. What I thought was interesting was that the BBC went into the PRS factory to do one of them (yes, I know this is the Fender forum!). I thought that the BBC's choice in highlighting U.S. made products was interesting to say the least. Now, whether that's a good thing or not.... Any opinions?

I didn't intend it to be about PRS specifically, but about the U.S. industry generally and U.S. made guitars in particular. That includes Fender. I thought the BBC's choice was interesting because it DID include guitars. Some people might think that guitars are 'discretionary' spending items (and therefore how we spend 'disposable' income), but some of us might disagree about that, especially if we can't live without our instruments!

I didn't see it, but I did see the Fender factory and if you've never seen it, you might enjoy this clip :
