It’s worth remembering that the accordion was once the most popular instrument in America.

I thought this was the most interesting part.

its kind of amusing to note that Fender is now in the process of doing everything that Gibson did to screw themselves in the 1990s-2000s...undercutting their main brand with entirely adequate budget-line guitars, overpricing the main US-made models and letting QC slip, increasingly focusing on insanely expensive Custom Shop models, and failing to introduce new concepts successfully.
