Ever since their inception somebody has been predicting the demise of the guitar "fad" every so often. There's always something that's going to replace them. So far, they still seem to be around. If anything needs to be replaced, I'd say POP music would be a good candidate.............. :rock-on:

Based on what I've seen, I'd say the NYT is correct.


Same could be said of pretty much all hobby/recreational goods.


2020 is the year of entertaining yourself at home.

Yeah. I got a line on a JCM 800 4001... I'd have been close if I hadn't bought the oscilloscope.

The nice part about that is that pop replaces itself every few years.  Kinda like a self-contained system there.
