I guess I'm just lucky with my 43 year-old D-25M, it's got about a million miles on it and still no need for a neck reset.
For electric or acoustic?
Purely by way of counterpoint, I myself was pretty surprised to see figures citing the flattop market as actually experiencing growth, at least a couple of years ago.
It came up when most of the opinion being expressed was that one reason Guitar Center was likely doomed to implode was that demand was shrinking; all us aging baby boomers exiting the market and the move to digital instruments like keyboards, so seeing a solid trend of increasing sales quoted for that niche, from a credible source (an industry publication), surprised me.

If you keep strings on your guitar over the course of many years the 150+ pound of tension that is constantly on a guitar eventually a neck even a superior Gibson will need to be reset.
Not to be a wise _ _ _ , but looks to me like you have a lot of Guilds, last I checked that is a brand.
Well according to that article they're being more than replaced by a younger one, and I also seem to recall that was just US demand and sales, because it was another detail that went counter to the prevailing perception..but again, strictly acoustics, electrics weren't part of the recap that I recall.Mainly electric, but acoustic as well. What I'm referring to is what's gonna happen when the last of the boomer demographic exits the guitar buying market.
