Pros

Fender, Gretsch and Latin Percussion are still iconic "A" brands that will be difficult to destroy but it looks like they are trying their hardest to do just that.

Cons

At this point too many to list -ruined many good peoples lives in the last year. Texas Pacific Group is emaciating the company to look profitable to wall street investors. They are making the same mistake other non MI companies that have gotten involved in MI have made in the past at various retail and wholesale levels... and that is not accepting, understanding or realizing that the Music Industry really is like no other and can't be treated like it's just another business of moving widgets and digits from manufacturer to consumer.
