pfretrock Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 No not a new guitar or bass. I spent most of last year working at home, so looking at more TV and social media that previously. Covid has seen a lot of TV/media where zoom etc. is increasingly used. Usually they are sat in front of their book case. Then I noticed a gradual increase of guitar or bass sitting in the corner. I'm sure they are just following a trend or is it just that guitar ownership is more common than I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnPatroller Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Last year, electric guitar sales spiked like crazy after the pandemic began. I read an interview somewhere - can't remember who or where - reporting that their guitar company was having the best year of sales in decades. Fender also began doing free online classes for beginners. What a great marketing idea - an upturn in guitar sales, so let's get free classes out there for people to develop their skills and become longterm customers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I’ve just been to a mates birthday party and was chatting to one of the other guests who took up guitar last year. Probably in his 40s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
