I can't see how. They have $1399 list on hand-wired Champs. This one has a much more expensive parts list.JazzGuitarGimp wrote:At $1,800 direct from Fender, could they be doing this without pc boards?
Good point.Milkmansound wrote:at $1800 I wonder who would buy one when you can get a real hand wired vintage one for half the money?

Hell, I could run that company. I'll take half Larry's compensation.
Okay! Get on the Board and we'll talk.NickC wrote:Firestorm wrote:I don't know what Larry Thomas is thinking (except turning FMIC into Guitar Center) ........

You get my vote!
Get on the Board? My best shot would have been acquiring a controlling interest in stock shares. But since they withdrew the IPO late last year, I guess we're out of luck.Firestorm wrote: ..............

Funny thing is CBS bought Fender and the New York Yankees in 1965 (and paid more for Fender). Yankees are worth $2.3B today. Fender: who knows? Revenue may be around $350M, but I'd never assume 10X, especially with the debt they have. I think the acquisition strategy is killing them. The idea of funding your own competition makes no sense. P&G may be the exception.
Oh wait. Is this not the Investors Business Daily site?
