I suppose it might be cuz not all electronic producers play the instruments themselves...

I got damn good at guitar ever before producing, so it just makes sense to integrate the two as I already had the skill and ear for crafting great guitar & bass tones. I’d suppose that without that, it’d be a lot more difficult to work with studio musicians even if they wanted to.

It took me probably a good couple years experimenting and playing around bringing guitar into the digital realm to really refine the sound, even with that background. I’d think most producers making electronic have simply focused that same energy into learning and sound design on synths, thus that being the majority of the output. It’s taken quite a while to bring guitar into my works and get them sounding good. The first couple years were pretty horrible. Lol.

Then again, many might merely stick to electronic as that’s kinda been what’s “popular.”

I dunno. Just some theories. 🤷‍♂️
