I was in a music store a couple of years ago and had my son hold a mini strat just to see how it fit him. The guy that owned the store tried to tell me that kids don't want to play guitar any more, they want to play ukelele.
What!?!?!?
As my kids get older, I still don't see any sign of what he was talking about. Makes me think he was trying to unload his stock of ukes.
