It keeps the name alive, I supoose, but is it really a Gretsch if Fender is calling all the shots?

Well, let's see......
Coca-Cola owns over 400 brands.... Does that make Sprite, Minute Maid, or Bacardi into Coke? No.
Gibson owns several brands.... Does that make Cerwin-Vega speakers into guitars? No.
You want to continue with your argument?

How do you feel about Charvel?

Jackson and EVH too.

They used to own Guild, Ovation, Hamer, SWR, and Sunn.

They still own Tacoma.

Yes, guy. It turns speakers into guitars. That's EXACTLY what I'm saying.

They're a Fender subsidiary. That's all.

Yup. Too bad they killed Hamer and Guild. They built some nice stuff. I LOVE my pre-FMIC SWRs, btw.

I just put a Bigsby on my Gibson ES-137 Custom. I had a roller bridge already sitting around from an old project so I slapped that on there, lubed up the nut and the bigsby, strung it up and honestly - I can't pull the thing out of tune to save my life. It's unbelievable how stable it is. No locking tuners. It's all about setup and care.

Guild's not dead. The sold them to Cordoba they still produce a large line of very good instruments. Hamer is dead though.

Both Hamer and Guild are back. Just not as part of FMIC. Shame about SWR. They were great amps.

Gibson was notorious for this kind of thing too.
