Fender IPO, GC Risk, Bain, past connections on top!

[Thomas Erickson]

I'm sure no expert, but seems to me like it should only be good for small companies and independent luthiers making quality instruments and gear. I do like my old Fender bass, but I couldn't care less what happens to the company now. And GC... don't even get me started...

If anything, maybe if these toy companies were to go under we could get back to looking at musical instruments more as real tools of the trade, and not just another mass produced trinket or wall ornament.
