And unlike Fender-Ovation deal, the two companies seem complementary. Made in USA should be alive and going strong as is the greed. | ||

And consider this, the young geniuses who started Google, a search engine, is today worth more than General Electric that owns consumer financing, various manufacturing industries all over the world, real estate, etc. Or a young kid who started Facebook which is now worth $15 billion...Gibson and TC in that perspective is peanuts. :(---------------------------------------------- It scares me that a few " moguls " own so much...I dunno.. | ||
