Big Three Brands?

RobertW , it could be. I never thought to look up data about market share, but it would be interesting to see it.

That'd be 548 guitars a day!  Wow.  LOL.
Was that number for acoustics?  Or did that include electrics too?

Not sure what you mean here.  Are you talking about Godin or other companies like Cort etc?

More interesting stuff.  I assume for 2015.

Acoustic Guitars

A Breakdown by Price Point and Product
 Type Units

Under $100         390,028

$101 to $200       410,030

$201 to $350       181,628

$351 to $500         40,003

$501 to $1,000     225,810

$1,001 to $1,500  226,001

Over $1,501           25,200


Total                 1,498,700



Obviously these are worldwide numbers.  There can't be too many acoustic guitars under $100 in the US.

I assumed the market for $1,500+ acoustic guitars is small, but it's surprising how few were sold in the $351 to $500 range.  Maybe there just aren't many models in that range.

Interesting article and fascinating read.  Thanks for sharing that.
I had no problems with adds, but I use Addblock so, I never have problems with them.

Interesting stuff. I may be inspired to do a search or two....
