bit late to the party but great vid, thanx for sharing. I think it rings true to studio gear generally. Ppl uploading half of their studio setup to Reverb expecting to get close to new prizes from used gear they list as mint and "from a dust free, pet free studio". It's weird but in some cases it was actually cheaper to buy a new instrument from an official vendor. Sure some things were out of stock but the worst case you just had to wait for 6 months.

That Tool guitarist has got quite a package, hung like a Shetland pony. Love it.

The only people who are going to take a serious haircut from used guitars losing value is collectors. And I personally don't feel that bad for them.
People keep complaining about how guitar-based music is dying. While it descended from its peak, it's definitely not dying. Social media and Tik Tok (heaven forbid) have put guitarists before a lot of new eyes. A notable example being bands like Polyphia. Turns out if you play something fresher than blues or classic rock, kids will get excited about it.
And if you like guitar music, metal and hardcore are arguably having a huge renaissance. Every week I find new bands putting out fresh stuff. There's a million different styles to look into. And look how big bands like Lorna Shore have become, again partly due to social media. Obviously metal guitarists don't usually (with some exceptions) want your vintage Strat/Tele/LP, but that doesn't mean all guitars are losing value.

Is that evidence of a guitar apocalypse or just the retail apocalypse in general? Or some degree of both?
