Hannah Montana’s Best of Both Worlds Disney Concert Tour will run from October to January and has so far been a complete success in most concert halls. Demand for scarce tickets has been high as parents under pressure have faced scalpers who jack up ticket prices, sometimes by four figures. The tour is one of the most popular concert events in the run up to Christmas this year.
The main star of the show, 15-year-old Miley Cyrus, has gained a massive following, true rock star status, especially among pre-teen girls close to her in age.
Miley is the daughter of the famous country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, who also stars on the show. Other stars on the show include the Jonas Brothers.
On the show, Miley not only acts like a rock star, but also plays the role of a rock star. She has shown that she is an accomplished musician at a relatively young age. It’s no surprise, then, that she has inspired great interest in being a rock star among her followers.
The show has encouraged a generation of tweens to aspire to achieve the success that Miley Cyrus enjoys. The interest in everything related to the show, including a wide range of related products, is enormous. Near the top of the list, if not at the top, is an interest in guitars and rock music.
Just as the demand for Hannah Montana concert tickets has skyrocketed, the demand for Hannah Montana guitars as Christmas gifts seems to be on the rise as well. A selection of mostly 3/4 size electric and acoustic guitars, branded after the theme of the show, is available to meet demand. These smaller sized guitars cater to the needs of the core fan base age group and make the guitars relatively affordable as an entry point when starting to learn guitar.
One source for Hannah Montana guitars is the merchandising arm of Disney. Well-known guitar brand Washburn has also stepped in to offer an alternative to a name brand product in the guitar industry, at a slightly higher price point. As demand grows closer to Christmas, the options available may expand.
However, wise parents of fans can learn from the high demand for concert tickets and intervene early to make sure they get a Hannah Montana guitar as a Christmas present while supplies last.
