  • Hmm interesting

    Don't know how much truth there is, but I talked with a friend of mine at Fender/Jackson on thehone this morning, and he told me Donnie Wade is now with Guild.... [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

    it's entirely possible, we've known that his employment was to be changing.

      That's GOOD NEWS, right?
      Wonder if Mike S. had anything to do with it? [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

        You guys know Guild is owned by Fender ? Let me ask Jeff.

            It's true - Donnie is currently the marketing manager for both Jackson and Guild. A new guy is
            starting in a couple of weeks and Donnie will be taking on responsibility for Guild, Rodriguez and
            Benedetto guitars.

                  Yep, that's the story. Truth be told, Guild is probably a much better fit for him. He always seemed more like a hollowbody/archtop guy to me. If you check Monster.com, there's an ad on their from Fender looking for a marketing manager. For some stupid f**king reason they don't seem to want to hire the guy that already knows everything about Jackson. Shows how far up their ass their heads are, IMO. They'll probably get in some guy that used to run Ovation or some BS like that. *SHUDDER* Morons.

                    Why do you feel that way, BM? The JCF has very few members who like DFW. Any change should be more than welcome...

                      Joe, I think BM was talking about them not bringing Kevin Easton back into the fold.

                          Aha, I see what BM meant. Well,McD, did you guys consider Kevin Easton? Seems strange he's not a part of things officially.

                            Who's to say that they didn't ask him and for some reason may have turned them down? Well, besides Kevin... [img]graemlins/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

                              Does that mean Grover Jackson?
