Tough times for Fender:

My opinion is that unless you're going to buy a collectors edition, vintage 50's or 60's guitar, Fender might not be your best option. Not to say they're bad guitars, but the copies are JUST as good these days and cheaper. You're paying way to much for the name on the headstock.
That said, I did buy a re-issue Fender Deluxe Reverb amp a couple of years ago. Not to say it's a better amp than others (to be honest, my Seymour Duncan 84-40 with swapped Weber speaker is probably better tone wise), but, it does have the distinctive Fender amp tone which I pretty much said fuck you to logic and pulled the trigger on it.
