[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16143341, member: 181885"] When I started playing the guitar 20 years ago, the Fender Strat still ruled. 10 years ago it seemed to gravitate towards super-strat platforms (ESP, Schecter, etc). Now, walking into GC I'm somewhat shocked at the offerings- nothing really "era-esque." Just a little peppering of everything, but nothing groundbreaking. Amp technology is all going solid state aside from boutique amps, and even more instruments are VSTs (including guitar). A lot of musicians are feeling that guitar music is slowly obsoleting itself. :( Hard to come up with something new and unique these days. Possible, but hard. I've been trying to do just that for the last 8 years, and as soon as I think I have some unique formula, I hear it. It used to be synonymous with quality. It isn't anymore, necessarily. You are correct though. [/QUOTE]
