"The LaurenceMcFadden paint company, in business since 1885 and supplier
of the finest lacquer, polyurethane, and polyester finishes to much of the
fretted instrument business has shut down as of this week. The company is
in bankruptcy and are negotiating to sell their formulas to other
entities. This is going to hit our industry like a bomb...they supply
Fender, Guild, Ovation, Martin, Taylor, and countless smaller makers."
