Well, they do compete, just not under the Fender name. Fender also owns Guild, and Gretsch. Other brands include Jackson, Charvell, and EVH.
Now KMC (Kaman) was already an empire before being purchased by Fender. They own Toca, Takamine, Genz-Benz, Gibraltar, Becker, and Hammer Guitars.
Other facts include, Martin helped Taylor get started and Taylor helped Breedlove get going.
