Oh crap!

First Trace Elliott now SWR...

I ordered one, thankfully it was a "nos" from 2002.

I dunno, Fender bought Guild and moved 'em to Corona and they're making great product.

Hot dang...

I have got a Pre-Fender SWR!... it is only a Woking Man line

Maybe it will double in value on e-bay if I bill it as Pre-Fender..LOL

Hey who sold it to Fender?

Steve W. Rhabe (the original owner- founder) sold it several years ago and runs Raven Labs now.

Oh and who bought Trace Elliott?

I didn't hear about that one.

Actually, Gibson owns Trace Elliot.

I acutally just found a new forum: talkbass.com. Much info there, als from an SWR employee.

Anyone want to buy my pre-Fender Workinman 12 for $1,500
