tldr; Fender sold more guitars in 2020 than at any other time in history,
Who said rock is dead? The guitar certainly isn’t. Fender has reported it will sell more guitars in 2020 than any other year in its history. Other leading manufactures such as Gibson, Taylor, and Martin have also seen sales spike this year.
To put Fender’s sheer numbers into perspective, the company’s “Fender Play” instructional app saw its user base increase to 930,000 from 150,000 between late March and late June. Twenty percent of the new users were under 24, and 70-percent under 45
Saying guitar music is dead has been a vogue statement for think pieces attempting to overanalyze the musical zeitgeist over the past decade.
This last statement made me think of Stud's comment on the last time I posted a "Guitar is Dead" article, he was slightly more scatching than I was but -> it's something to read, but the reality...no other instrument is as versatile and portable. Nope, not even a set of dj decks and a watermelon keyboard
