FMIC to *mothball* the Charvel brand?

All very interesting. I just don't know why instead of making all these pointies with v-trems, why they didn't make a load of Floyded strat-heads - like the plane-Jane runs - just do loads of them with different pu and board configurations.

If they did that, and sold them for $1,500 - how many of us here would already own one? I certainly would - instead my money went to GMW.

Of course what you say makes perfect sense. The problem is that you're dealing with a corporate giant like Fender. I have had the opportunity to deal with top brass at Fender and can tell you they really have a big head and ego complex that prevents them from actually listening to anything the buyers have to say. They think they know everything and don't need any input from the actual consumers.
