That's cool. I suppose people were looking for something to do when they couldn't get out and do the things they normally do. Those that had always wanted to learn to play guitar but never really had the time to devote to it decided now is the time collectively. Cause we all had extra time at home with nowhere to go!
Ain't nothing wrong with that
I agree! Plus, more guitarists is better than fewer, 'cause then we get the economy of scale working on our behalf.
You end up with cheap Chibson Les Pauls that you paid less than $200 for and came with perfect intonation, no fret buzz unless you wail on it (like all guitars that are quality), acceptable frets, great binding, acceptable hardware like pots, etc...
I'm kinda enjoying my Chibson Les Paul. The great thing is I give zero fucks if I break it. That doesn't mean I abuse it, it just means I really don't give a shit 'cause it's easily replaced for under $200. I've had guitars twice that expensive break in some manner.
Hell yeah. I encourage everyone to play guitar! The more the merrier.
At least 90% of 'em will quit or have already quit.
So, there's gonna be a flood of usable used gear within the next five years. I'm kinda seeing that already when I browse Craigslist, though I didn't know we had record sales until today.
