As rock declines than so to will the guitar.

Well what is the instrument of choice in Aspen?
In America we have a shifting demographic too, but the different genre I hear from the Mexican/Latino/Hispanic music is pretty close to American music, the only exception is that it is sung in Spanish. And since the guitar has a Spanish origin I don't worry that it would disappear all of a sudden, maybe in America's hip-hop and Pop culture but not world-wide.
