In my last video I pointed out that a Gibson Les Paul effectively costs the same today as it did in 1958, adjusted for inflation. Technically that's true. But a LOT of you called me out for missing the bigger picture — and you were right.

The real issue isn't that the Les Paul got more expensive. It's that everything else did, while your paycheck didn't. This is a guitar video, but it's also not really a guitar video.
