From the front cover of this month's issue of a Music Retail trade Magazine --
"Overall guitar dollar sales enjoy a more than 5% year over year increase, with manufacturers affirming 2018 was a great year"
Actual uptick was 5.3 for 2018, 2.2 for 2017.
Perhaps it's not surprising that more new sales might mean fewer used sales. The economy is good, it's easy to understand a "why buy used when I can afford to by new" philosophy.
