Jack can we infer from this that you don't think musicians have real jobs? Or only rich Republicans buy guitars? Let's see the stats on this.

Frank you can infer what you please but I did not imply that. I implied that many of the customers of these guitars do not use them for work. Call me stupid, but if you are a professional guitar player, you probably already have a guitar or two. If you are making really good money as a player, you probably have a guitar company sponsor you. If not your disposable income is low. You probably know a luthier, or have friends who make and/or sell guitars. Musicains often also have sources for quality used guitars.

Compare this to a professional man, getting a little tired of his Harley and his bass boat, who is trying to recapture the days of his youth. Who is more likely to buy a brand name, high end guitar this year? I don't think Martin and Gibson are selling all of those "signature" guitars from the "Jim Croce" to the "Angus Young" to professional or even serious amateur musicians. BTW there are also lots of middle income to well heeled Democrats who buy guitars as well. It's more a boomer thing than a political thing.

Frank, if you are a professional musician, I dare say that GC is not the best place to buy an Axe. If you are discriminating and are looking for value, there are much better places. I know hundreds of people with fairly high end guitars, most have shopped at GC and gone elsewhere.

I don't have any stats. It's just my opinion, I think I am fairly well informed. Take it or leave it.
