Is this true? Does anyone have a current status on what is going on? Will anything still be made in the USA? What happened to the people who made such good products? I only knew somewhat recently that Fender bought out Kaman, but that was it. If there are running posts on this subject that I am missing, please point me to them.
Thank you, all. |
