I've emaliled to this adress today.... and someone else replied, so not Jeff at all but Joshua Inouye, brand manager for SWR and Genz Benz, working for FMI of course.
I was telling all my anger about their stupid politics that drive us to not be able to find anymore new GB products in France.
of course, joshua gently recommended me to purchase.... anywhere else in Europe, but not in France. If he wants us to make all the shops close in France, that's the good deal for sure...
The fact is: sales persons @ Fender France wants the dealers to buy for 20 000 € of fender array, from the squier to the custom shop, before purchasing any else brand they import by KMC.
So you can easily imagine what the shop tenders reply me" Ahem sorry, don't want to have problems with my bank, so won't be able to get your genz Benz Focus cabinet".
Same issue when you want to get brands from Yamaha, Roland or Gibson.... that means 75% of the on-demand market in our country.... I let you imagine what you can find in shops when you do't live Paris Lille or Lyon, means all the west side (where I am located) can't get those products..... no really, thanks with those politics guys. Now we know why the "Salon de la Musique" in Paris doesn't exist anymore....
Thanks for us in France Jeff, you really choose the wrong company with FMI.....
