Kinda like.. pianos?

Furniture in general is a low turnover industry and tough.

One of the ironic reasons that Ikea/Wayfair do well is their stuff looks good but is basically garbage and can't survive a move or two so people are forced to buy from them more often than they would with better brands. Better brands are too expensive (and also a bit stodgy usually) so younger and poorer people just keep getting the same lower end stuff repeatedly.

Guitars don't seem to be like that. Like sometimes my son is talking with my son about his latest guitar with my wife and that guitar is newer than the guitar that my wife thinks is his latest guitar. If he hasn't bought a new guitar he just made a new one.
