So, with time, will rock and country start leaning toward the synthesizer?



As far as country goes, I think the answer would definitely be no. Guitar will always be king. Country fans don't want to hear a fiddle or guitar solo on a synth. Piano will always be a part of country though.

I don't keep up with current rock bands so I really don't know the trends, but I'd be surprised if the dominant instrument became the synth.

There's something about the sound of the six string that'll keep it around for a long time to come. Too early for the R.I.P.
