Wonder where he lands? Not everyone's cup of tea but he's got great tone.

who cares about that fag.

Helpful addition to the conversation! Great fodder for thought!

As for JM, I believe he's with Duesenberg now.

I wish he would leave, altogether.

I could see him going to PRS. just a guess though.

I actually clicked on that twitter link.

I still don't really know what twitter is, but he says he'll still be playing Fenders.....

Unfortunately I read a couple of his posts.......that guy is a narcissistic twit. Does he really believe his own blathering?

BC-Rich is what I heard

Suhr

In other words, they're not offering as much money as they used to give him (probably because he isn't selling as much as he used to), so he's going somewhere else to make his money

Apparently it's because Fender will be insisting that all artists will not be allowed to be filmed or photographed playing anything else, including amps !!!!!!!

Not a huge fan (I do think he has great tone), the post was more interesting to me because of the "Fender-going-direct" conversation, wasn't sure if this move was related but the timing is interesting

And there is no way in hell he is going to give up his Dumbles and Two-Rocks for the shit Fender is rolling out of the factory.

If that's true, Malmsteen would be done too, but I doubt this is true.

Most of their endorsers would be gone, few play fenders thru fenders amps..

 

[geetarmikey]

He could definitely do some great stuff with a Suhr I reckon. Better than Strats anyway!

 

[tripstan]

Not to derail the OP but. I guess Bonamassa is using all Fender amps on his next tour. He used them all over his new album too. Granted it's all vintage amps but thought it was interesting.

Really? He hasn't done any great stuff with the millions of dollars of gear he already has. What makes you think Suhr will do the trick?
