TIL Fender Guitars did a study and found that 90% of new guitar players abandon playing within 1 year. The 10% that don’t quit spend an average of $10,000 on hardware over their lifetime, buying 5-7 guitars and multiple amps.

That number seems a little low to me for a lifetime of playing
Only 5-7? Good to know I’m above average at something.
You should see what is drum guys spend.
I am the 90 percent.
Okay you 90%’ers, I will purchase your unused guitars for cheap. Let’s do this.
Not surprising but interesting none the less
Addicts make up the market, casuals just pay day to day bills. It is same with everything.

1. Learn Wonderwall
