Most guitarists want tried and tested older models of any and all guitar makes. 1. we know they work and play just fine. 2. They have good resale value. 3. No development costs are involved. 4. The big guy is right, tariffs will screw up everything

I’m in agreement regarding a Chris Buck Revstar Signature model, and I’m almost positive that it’s coming. I went to the Cardinal Black show at The Basement East in Nashville, and it was one of the best shows I saw this year. I got to talk to each of the band members after the show, and it was just an amazing experience all the way around.

With vintera ii out for awhile now we are currently overdue for another mexico Road Worn series. Nitro finishes with only slight (time machine/closet classic) relicing would be a huge seller.

I second the affordable, well built US made option. I can understand the need for margins. Maybe this is a time for indie builders to find a way to make it happen because the big names refuse to. I would love for intermediate musicians to have something they can get now and play forever.

I'm seeing more use of Red Cedar, and 12 fret acoustics on OO and OOO/OM by a variety of builders. Walnut (the new Rosewood?) is also making a run, particularly with the 'sustainable woods' crowd.

Gibson to release a new Melody Maker line. And seeing as they have reduced their prices on the Junior and Special, I'm guessing it will retail at $999 to $1,099. Can also see a bare-bones US Les Paul, sort of like the LPJ 2014, which was an awesome guitar. Both in response to a market in which premium-priced guitars are not selling

I'm going to guess Fender cuts way back on the artist models. In the 2015s you would get an artist model for $999 because it offered cool upgrades. Now Fender is just selling artist models for $3k hoping people buy one. The Juanes, the Bruno Mars, the Coma, the Mccready, the MonoNeon... I'm kinda glad the Tom Delonges are going for $699 now but people who bought them at 1300 have heartburn.

Taylor Swift did Eras graphic guitars with Epiphone through her website. They sold out immediately. It was Epiphone’s least expensive acoustic guitar with a $200/$250 premium for the Taylor Swift graphic. Personally, I think it would have been much better for her to do with a GS-Mini.

All I need to write a song (good or bad) is ONE instrument…and it doesn’t need to be a guitar. 2025 is gonna be a good year for many “awakenings” regarding what’s important in life.

I think, despite possible tariffs, we're going to see Sire guitars continue to grow, especially electric guitars and basses. Even if an across the board 10 or 20% additional tariff is implemented (and I keep praying they won't be), the value to money gap is already SO huge, that those guitars will STILL be a better value to money option compared to American made guitars. Those guitars are so damn good that they're constantly out of stock NOW, when overall market demand is down! So they've got nowhere to go but up!. Especially since they're made in Indonesia and not China, and the tariff won't be near as much. All that being said, I can't speak for their acoustics since I don't play acoustic. So I'll let someone else predict that side of their catalog.

Wishlist: I really wish Gibson US would set up an independent in-house Epiphone Custom Room. The Casino from a coupla years ago just sort of disappeared and the recent solid-body got a bit of press but they seemed like half-hearted attempts, testing the water (particularly the Casino after the Get Back movie). They were almost 'throwaways'. The Casino, Riviera, Sheraton, Broadway et al could be brought back to their former glory - and please, not like the Noel Gallagher one which was just a re-tooled 335. Find someone who really wants to explore the original woods used and get Gotoh to make the hardware if necessary to trad specs - do it properly, not a 'yeah well but they're not Gibsons so don't overthink it' approach - have a little respect Gibson owners - thank you! The other thing that might be nice on the budget end of things would be to see more quirky, fun stuff like the Guild Surfliner (which they finally got right after 2 or 3 initial attempts) and the Gretsch Jeff Antonoff Signature - these are both novel, affordable FUN instruments offering something a bit different without breaking the back! And all you 'big guys' - why not try offering some alternative pick-up options within your range? Eastman have soared ahead partnering with Seymour Duncan, Lollar & Bare Knuckles . . . what about Monty's, Fralins and others. Johnny Marr managed to get Fender to put in some non-Fender pick-ups for his signature Jag and that made all the difference - a very special Artiste Model that offered something unique, not just an autograph on the headstock! Thanks for the show and a Happy New Year to all!

I really liked Taylor offering the GT and all its versions but thought from day one they were over priced and why I never purchased one. They probably priced the GT high to stand out from the GS Mini which it does but had they priced it lower they would have sold more, but then they would have cut into their GS Mini sales. As for the GS Mini, I collect them and 2024 killed me trying to keep up with all the different releases! I feel they went a bit too far and flooded the market. There were 47 different GS Mini's sold to the public during 2024 that I'm aware of which includes Prod, LTD, SE, Proto's, all 10 Stio-x, and the MLB release (NOT counting all 30 MLB team variations). 2023 there were 12 different GS Mini's offered, and 2022 10 offered. So you can see Taylor went crazy with GS Mini's for 2024. Some of the GS Mini's were not unique enough and shared characteristics with other models in color and design, and a couple were totally awesome. I think I'm giving up collecting GS Mini's, I have a super unique collection starting from the 2010-2024 and unless they offer something completely unique I don't see myself getting anymore. I like the printed versions but they are basically using up their standard Sapele stock pile by adding a colorful design for a higher price verses offering new non-standard woods for the same higher price. None the less the GS Mini is awesome and despite being layered back and sides there are differences in sound with some of the releases.

+1 for pickup lines! I already suggested the same idea in another recent video. I waited so long for the HiFi Duet, but I haven’t seen a real good comparison video yet and the sound in the videos I found seemed to be a little underwhelming. An honest comparison review would be perfect. These systems aren’t cheap. 🧡

I really hope you are wrong about that last prediction. It sounds to much like the Variax. I think the big boys need to spend less time worrying about putting pedals or effects IN their instruments and need to focus on making an affordable version of their core models that either dont feel like toys, or aren't SO tricked out and expensive that you're thinking "This costs as much as one of the core models. I should just save up for THAT". That and MAYBE someone can invent a pickup that when you split the coil it SOUNDS like a single coil?!?

Fender is going to come out with some affordable relic’d model, probably made in Mexico. Martin is going to add some different tone woods to a regular model. Maybe like a walnut back and sides D or OOO 18/28. JHS will issue a pedal that creates an insane amount of hype and pisses off the guitar community when most can’t get one without paying triple on the second hand market.

With President Trump promising huge tariffs next year, I think we can definitely predict one thing for sure… that guitar prices will definitely be going UP in 2025. At least the ones made outside the US. So maybe all the lower priced versions made in Mexico & Asia won’t be so affordable anymore. 🤔
