But, as classic rock - and classic rockers - continue to age, is the guitar industry struggling to attract younger customers?
In six years, electric guitar company Gibson has gone from filing for bankruptcy to opening its first flagship store outside the US.
We hear from Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, Grammy nominated singer James Bay, and one of the world's foremost female luthiers to find out whether the guitar's association with rock 'n' roll has become bad for business.
