Sad news but the second hand shops are full of guitars and musical instruments.

A local leading music store went bust and then reopened a few weeks later with new owners. The new owners went broke about 18 months later. The store is now a chemist.
Camera shops are in trouble as well. Nikon and Canon are feeling the pinch and both manufacturers are in trouble.
Leica being one of the last boutique manufacturers are doing OK but even they are having issues.
Hasselblad almost went broke & were recently acquired and restructured. (lots of lay offs)

So much has changed. When I was a kid a lot of my friends were into music. I played the violin and still do but my children have shown no interest in learning.
Same goes for their friends and they have a lot of them.

I like living in this modern world but we have lost so much to technology.
