But Trump & co won’t /don’t care about the actual impact of any of these things on real people, they only care about lining the pockets of their backers in the short term.
Also, you'd potentially lose something of the small, hand-made feel in the process?
Having spoken to people in other sectors that produce in small quantities and have a bespoke type offer, the next step up in terms of size can be quite daunting and costly and therefore represents a big risk.
Could be way off here as I don't know the mechanics of guitar production.
Eggle tried ..and failed several times - bankruptcies and huge debts with suppliers.
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

As a result, the British brands, like Burns, never really got into the international limelight, and never had the chance to grow through the 60s/70s/80s in the way the US brands did.
It would be an act of reckless optimism to move from small scale production to mass production without the demand for the product already being in place, as such, you can't really blame the retailers; many do stock brands like Gordon Smith, or Shergold (even if they're no longer UK made) - you can actually walk into Andertons and try out a selection of Gordon Smith guitars, I just looked at their site and they've got 15 listed. Simple fact of the market place, many in the UK would rather spend £1200 on a mass produced Gibson SG Junior than £900 on a GS1 made to their personal specifications. In part, that's the power of brand and product identity. And it's always been a bit like that over here. I considered a UK-made Shergold as my third guitar in the 70s, but ended up with a USA-made Guild.
