Chris Martin is stepping down as CEO of Martin Guitars, as is the company president Jacqueline Renner. Wonder how this will affect the ukulele lineup?

(Story on Guitar.com - not able to link here as the site it thinks it is spam.)
 
Since his retirement isn't until July 2021 and Renner is leaving in October 2021, I doubt there will be any lineup changes related to this announcement. There might be changes, but they may just be part of a normal product review and revisions.
 
I wonder how COVID-19 has affected guitar sales?

It's been a boost for ukuleles. Did it do the same for guitars?

Will they be going out on a high or a low note? (Sorry, couldn't resist. :p)

Can't speak for new sales, but the used market seems to be really hot. Some models are going for a much higher price and are harder to come by.

I was going to say the reverse: I don't know about the second-hand market, but reports say new instrument sales have surged.
