Well, no. You remember part of it right but part is wrong. Jonathan Thomas, who is the President of Corboda Music Group (CMG), is the son of FORMER Fender Musical Instruments Corportation (FMIC) CEO Larry Thomas. Larry Thomas was FMIC's CEO from Aug. 1, 2010 until May 31, 2014. He retired afterwards. So CMG or it's Guild brand has nothing to do with FMIC. If you mean "Thomas family" with "family" you are right however...

Thanks Ralf for that, and the spec sheet.
You're a wonderful resource here and I just want to tell any new members that don't know you well yet, that they can take what you say to the bank.
It does still seem reasonable that CMG may have got wind of FMIC's plans to sell Guild through the "Thomas family connection" though.
Just 'cause the senior Thomas was retired doesn't mean he might not be talking to old buddies at FMIC.
