    Since 2012 we’ve deployed significant resources to reinvigorate this iconic lifestyle brand. In 2015 we supported Fender’s transformation with the addition of Andy Mooney as CEO to reinforce the ongoing improvement of Fender’s business, from reenergizing channel relationships and deepening Fender’s commitment to product quality and innovation, to engaging directly with consumers, launching market-leading digital learning resources, and reaffirming Fender’s unwavering dedication to the artist community. We are grateful for Servco’s commitment to Fender and wish them continued success
    ****ing end me, please.

    I guess its all about investment and percentage of return to most large corp. Also product longevity and reliability to show profit.

    as long as they keep making sweet amplifiers like my Princeton Reverb FSR, I don't care who buys and owns them. Just don't go belly up and make the prices skyrocket. Just outlive me, that's all I ask.

    Apparently, the group that owns Fender was already partnering with someone else. They've just bought out the other concern.

    It doesn't look like there'll be any changes to products, at least not yet.

    the part that bought it ought is the part that went in with the people who fixed the company in the 80s.

    if anything, I expect things to improve at Fender with the vulture capitalist types having less financial control.

    it's amazing how companies can improve when you just let the engineers do their jobs.
