I agree LTP. While 15% is a significant chunk of anybody's business, I don't see it as enough to "sink" 'em.learnintoplay62 said:I'm not sure about that Poser. Fender has a lot of irons in the fire and seem to be well diversified. It seems to me that they are partnered up with a struggling company (GC ) About 15% of there sales come from them and in my opinion GC is not doing to well . Opinion based on shopping experience and articles such as this one. I think they are just taking it on the chin from a slow global economy. Hopefully they won't give up, but keep coming up with a better and more innovative way of doing business. :wink:

Didn't Gibson marry up with Sony for home audio entertainment and Fender move into car audio? (Both mentioned here on LTG)fronobulax said:learnintoplay62 said:Fender has a lot of irons in the fire
I'll agree but I'm not sure they are hot enough to carry the company yet. I do think the market for guitars is no longer growing rapidly and Fender and Gibson both need to find related products that appeal to a larger market, IMO.
