It’s weird that fender hates making money so much. Boomers want vintage looks. Gen X wants vintage looks. Millenials want vintage looks. Zoomers want vintage looks (but with kooky colors.)
They already make vintage colors and styles though ..?
It’s all marketing now….There Creed: “Somebody will buy it”….let’s try to make money this way or that way…hype everything…..lie if need be…we need sales
