Well it has happened again beatlemania but this time in the vintage guitar business. Since the release of the new Beatles rock band video game we have been over run by phone calls from kids inquiring about guitar the Beatles were using. This is going to be a big boost for the vintage guitar business

Just think many do not even know of the Beatles as hard to believe as it is and now kids as young a 8 years old will be tuning in to the Beatles and their music, This is a brilliant move by the remaining Beatles and will definitely boost their catalog sales not to mention the mother load they have received and are receiving form this new video rack game

I got a call yesterday from a kid must have been 12 years old or so saying he wanted a bass like Paul McCartney and then innocently asked if he can plug the guitar into his video game. I thought wow this is amazing here is a kid who probably never knew the Beatles and has become fascinated in a short period of time and now wants to buy or use what Paul was using in the video game. Amazing.

This is a great boost to this vintage market that has taken a hard hit in this economy. True children do not have the money for a vintage bass but the fact that they are interested in one is the real beauty here. This actually gives me hope for the future of music and the vintage guitar market. The game has now opened up the eyes of millions of children to music and melodic music at that and the gear the Beatles used.

I am not counting the money or the sales yet but this is a glimpse of hope I see for the future nothing more and I am excited that someone has taken the initiative to put together a constructive no violent video format for the children,. We have enough violence in life and television why video games give me a break.  Maybe there is some hope out there for the children after all

This is just a personal observation and anyone who has any input please fell free to e mail me at  THE PARTS DRAWER  and I Will gladly respond with 48 hours
