The phasing out of Fender's American Professional series has me wondering:
What happens to the guitars dealers have that don't sell? I assume Fender stipulates that dealers have to offer at least some of the new series and that dealers might have a hefty stock of the old line.
And then, the same day that news broke that the AmPro was on its way out, the big online shops dropped every model not listed on fender.com. I don't think customers had time to buy out these stores between the announcement of that news and when i searched the shops for AmPros. Sweetwater posts pics of the actual guitar for sale. So one day they had them in stock, the next not. Does Fender take back their stock? You won't see them selling any AmPros after Fender drops the line completely.
