I understand you have something to contribute, but sending multiple links to your own products comes off as really self-promoting. Try engaging in the discussion about the article. Do you agree with it? How does the article make you feel? How does your solution attack the problems described by the article?
I do agree, the guitar industry is in crisis mode since their main customers (older men) are dying off, literally.
How does the article make me feel? Makes me feel super excited to the nth degree! As the article states, it's a pretty big milestone to play your first coherent song, but in most people, they never get there and quit. We have a low entry, high ceiling instrument that gets you playing right away. We are trying to disaggregate almost every part of the guitar, but when you actually play it, you can play the entire song from day 1, check out the video if you haven't!
That is a terrible solution (not in a vacuum, just to the stated problem).
The problem was stated by an OEM selling traditional guitars, who needed their new customers to learn their first song so they purchase again in the future.
This is a non-scaling, costly solution that does a worse job of tackling the problem. The goal is to sell more Fender Stratocasters, not have your customers buy a non-guitar from somebody else. Maybe a good solution for a different problem, but not for the problem we're addressing here.
