Not to beat this issue like a dead horse, but I agree with Ivan on
this. Every company is in business to make money - otherwise, they'd
be OUT of business. What helps the good companies stay in business
are things like good products and good customer service. Maybe FMIC
isn't perfect in all regards, but what company is?
I'm happy to report that I've just made my annual contribution to
increasing Fender profits by ordering my first Fender guitar - a '62
RI Jaguar! Yup, it took me a long time to save up for it, but that's
how I want to spend my hard earned pesos. I've been lusting after a
Jag since I first started playing (over 20 years ago, off & on -
*gulp*), and I finally made the plunge (no water/surf pun intended).
With my 40th birthday right around the corner, maybe it's my "mid-
life crisis" purchase . . . whoo-hoo! Hey, it keeps me off the
streets . . .
