Let's hope GB doesn't suffer as a result of this "financial" deal. It's not good IMO.

Originally Posted by KJung Another way to think about this. So, Fender incorporates the Genz design team, patents, etc. into the parent brand. Fender introduces a new line of Micro's using Genz as a starting point (I have no info that they are doing this, but the response above suggests this might be the case).
So, what does that do. First, it increases awareness and distribution by a HUGE amount. And second, gives the Fender brand a very legitimate heritage for a new micro line-up. What does that mean. Massive increase in sales due to again brand equity, awarenes and retail distribution. It also brings that line of amps into the 'core strategy and business' of Fender, which is key as they seem to continue to work toward a public (i.e., stock) offering.
Not a bad strategy at all, and if they can use their huge buying power to keep the cost down and produce a quality product line, that is a good thing 
Again, just musing from a business perspective. Of course, those who think Fender is evil or something won't see this as a positive.  |
There is a lot of logic to this; enough to make it a likelihood, in my opinion...but also enough to keep the speculation going for a while, maybe even all the way to Summer NAMM, which, I suspect, is where we will see some definitive new information, if not actual product.
The more I think about it, the more I believe that we may still see Genz Benz Enclosures (the original name of GB) going on, in the true sense of the name. The amp heads may bear the script F.
