Mass-Produced Mayhem! -- Are Cheap Guitars The Fast Food of Tone?
Is the availability of new, cheap, high quality guitars creating a glut of guitars that the industry can't handle without some guitar makers going out of business?
In today's Guitargument and Cool Down Jon Gundry and Matthew Quail of ThroBak Electronics argue whether or not there are just too many guitars on the market. What are the implications for the guitar player and guitar makers when the availability of high quality cheap new guitars leads to an ever growing choice of guitar models and brands as well as an ever growing number of used guitars to choose from?
The podcast starts with ThroBak News concerning the repair of a vintage P.A.F. pickup winder at ThroBak. To watch the full video of Jon Gundry repairing a vintage Meteor ME-301 pickup winder the link.https://youtu.be/0CvfWEEPUlk?si=-cjteGoHHuQWtv7m
