CBS made a corporate decision to divest themselves of everything other than their radio and television broadcasting businesses. They sold the New York Yankees to Steinbrenner. They sold their motion picture and recorded music companies to Sony. John McClaren was hired from Yamaha to head up CBS Musical Instruments. He brought his right hand man Bill Schultz with him to head up the Fender/Rogers/Rhodes division of CBS Musical Instruments. Under McClaren's direction, CBS sold the individual companies Steinway pianos, Gulbranson organs, Rodgers church organs, Lyon and Healy harps, Gemeinhart flutes. This left Fender/Rogers/Rhodes. Fender was the cash cow that provided huge profits for the corporation while Rhodes and especially Rogers did not. CBS stopped spending any money for Research and Development for Rogers drums. Schultz was charged with selling all three of the companies. Roland bought Rhodes and Rogers was sold to Island music. Many offers were submitted for Fender with most of them being vanity offers by importers of cheap Fender copies just so they could publish that they offered to buy Fender. Schultz was a no-nonsense guy who fielded all of these offers before he put together an employee buyout that enlisted investment by several of Fender's foreign distributors and some long-time Fender dealers. As things have evolved over the past twenty years, the current major stockholders of Fender are the family of one of the longest term Fender dealers from Hawaii. Well....you asked.

I’m on my I phone only
April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

That's why I come here about once a month, Howie. This forum is nearly dead and the guy who owns it doesn't care anymore. Sorry to be a downer, but it's pretty obvious.
