Gotta love American manufacturing! I did electronics manufacturing for 30 years,
"One of the best moments was having drinks with Larry Fishman of Fishman electronics. We were discussing Guilds and told me that he got his start making bass pickups for Guild at the Westerly plant in the 70's or 80's. He was a nice guy and of course I had to tell him how big a fan I am of the prefix which I have in my DCE3 and the outboard acoustic EQ that I use at my shows. I was intrigued to find out that most of their production is now in the US. A bi-product of the pandemic, rising transport costs and difficulty of getting chips from China. I was pleased to hear this and I hope it stays that way. I also hope many others follow suit. He was pretty proud of that fact. He also said because of this he was able to hire about 40 people and put them on the assembly line. Loved hearing that."
