Post by eyeball987 »

Maybe I just missed this along the way, but was not aware that Marshall was even for sale.

It's a necessary move in this century. Gibson and Fender had already reorganized under multi-brand conglomerates. Mesa recently joined the Gibson group. And I think PRS will also sell/reorganize soon. It's very difficult to stay competitive at a large scale without this type of infrastructure nowadays.

Hopefully this new group understands the brand and does it justice. We'll see.
Guitars:
'78 Les Paul Pro / '89 SG Special/ '04 Gibson Les Paul Classic 3 pickup / Jackson Star/ Endres Tele / Fernandes Rhoads/ ''74 Hohner MIJ strat/ 2 Partscasters

Post by overdrivenel34s »

I just saw this article and wonder how it may affect the direction of the company, current and future offerings.

Good to see that the Marshall heirs with still own a portion of it.
This looks like it's a well done deal honestly, looks like the brand will be in good hands.

The Scandinavians seem like responsible people.
Can't be any worse than when MusicGround took over the Hiwatt trademark.

This will most likely happen. It's happened to every famous company that sold or merged at some point. No reason why Marshall will be any different.
