Interesting read. But I'm sure this will be as worrisome as "the death of rock n roll' that seems to come up every decade or so.
The big surprise for me was how adamant Gibson appears to be, in forcing new technology on guitarists (who are notoriously conservative when it comes to their instruments).

Even if the younger (millennials) generation don't "dig" the classic guitarists and guitars in general, the dubsteppers/EDM'ers will eventually saturate within their limits and will start looking elsewhere for music. That's when playing an instrument will be the new 'in thing'. History will repeat itself.......if it doesn't, it'll be quite sad.

Guitars will still be around for as long as I am.
Beyond that, no I really don't care.

This just in...A recent study has determined that the death of acoustic drummers would have almost no impact on bassists. The only perceived impact came from a bassist with a ridiculously small car who can't figure out who is going to haul his gigantic speaker cabinet.
Guitarists, on the other hand, experienced a sudden inability to explain why they needed a new amp now that they no longer had to play over that drumkit. This unexpected shock was mitigated by the realization that they no longer needed to fear flying shrapnel or well aimed projectiles.
Singers, as predicted, remained completely oblivious.

As far as I'm concerned, there doesn't seem to be much concern about percussionists. Shirley, they have a place in all of this?

I see a lot of kids on YouTube playing electric guitars, many of them play better than I ever will. I see a lot of young bands with guitars, I see a lot of kids in the audience when I watch guitar bands.
I think it'll always appeal to kids as a form of self expression.

Yup. And how to get chicks. Unlike the bass player who only gets free pizza from his day job.

If the market becomes saturated with vintage guitars because no one is playing them or buying them any more....I may pick up a few.

When any juan can find me a circa 1972-74 Gibson EB3 for under a grand, I'd be all over it. That's the last "real" bass I want to own; besides maybe a low cost fretless for ~$600, considering the Schecter or Fender Standard. I need to go try them out.

Mrs. bayoubill found her guitar player husband hanging in his bedroom this morning. There was a note on his bed which read,
-‘I can’t take the critism anymore.’
Mrs. bayoubill quickly cut him down and managed to revive him. As bayoubill lay in her arms and slowly opened his eyes, she said,
-YEA bayou,"That’s not how you spell
