2026: The Year We Finally Stop Buying Gear (and other lies we tell ourselves!)

The Guitar Dads kick off 2026 with news on the Lukather/Alex Van Halen tribute album honoring Eddie (can Luke really not play a note on it?), cryptic Aerosmith Instagram teases pointing back to their debut, and a debate on pedal board excess in our Utility Futility segment. Then we look ahead to pre-NAMM gear anticipation and discuss whether the used market is truly trash or just correcting from pandemic-era inflation. New year, new gear, same GAS problems.
