I missed this thread originally and I'm glad it got bumped up. I knew the history up until Fender bought V.C. Squier, but didn't know the details about the move to California, then to Mexico. And the bit about packaging strings in an old Mexican church was a hoot.

Thanks, Linnen!

You are most welcome strayedstrater. It's what we do for honest history.

Thanks for your kind reply, FSB.
It's been nearly a year since brotherdave died of cancer.

Dave, always ready to jump in to lend his knowledge and most often welcomed advice, had a rough journey along with his upbeat good nature. He is missed, but always here. :cry:
Thanks, for the link linnin.

I believe the top 3 string winders are:

-D'Addario
-Ernie Ball
-GHS

Although I know there are multiple other big ones in America.
