No. There are 8,000,000 million more people who think they are stars and looking for a place to play. I guess the bright side is many of them will begin to go to church.

Sure wish I still had my Stratocaster Sunburst.

I have been to several NAMM shows in recent years and it has always stunned me to ponder How many Thousands of guitars the world can actually absorb,

“There were 15 million fingers, learning how to play, and you could here the fingers pickin’ and this is what they had to say...” -ACDC, Let there be rock.

But screw Fender. They went to bed with the Kenyan bastard Obama to attack Gibson. Fine guitars but it is run by woke pricks who use the government to destroy their competition.

“...Janopaul says the figure equated to roughly “600,000 guitars and 200,000 amps”

Hang on.

800,000 units = $100 million? So each guitar or amp averaged about $120? I know Fender does make some less expensive amps and guitars, but I don’t see anyway that the average selling price of individual Fender amps and guitars is $120. Heck, a Mexican Strat is many times that price (and a pretty good guitar).

The worst “Covid-Fad” was people getting animals out of shelters “So they wouldn’t be home alone” only to dump them when the restrictions were lifted.

They just need to wait until mid September when Brandon brings back the lockdowns.

The PPP money was good for business

I just bought myself a carbon fiber McPherson Sable and am crazy about it.

My playing skills are not at all exceptional, but this thing sounds amazing.

It’s the last acoustic guitar I’ll ever buy.

I just personally prefer an acoustic over a solid body electric.
