Brand-new beat-up guitars, redux

Here’s the thing that really bugs me about these brand-new beat-up guitars: There can only be—what—1,000 people who care. (They’re usually limited runs of less than a couple-hundred units.) So, let’s limit the hype to channels that’ll hit that 1K and keep the noise out of the channels the rest of us are listening to. Let’s spend more time looking at the instruments that the millions of the rest of us can afford to buy and actually play.
