David Lindley -Very Sad...we lost a wonderful person!

 

So sad we lost David, this is the day the Smith family met him and he was always gracious and wonderful. Only person Dad would build whatever he wanted :)

Every time I met him he always went out of his way to talk to me even clear back at age 16, let me into his home, took time to talk guitar builds, so many great memories, going to miss you David!

...you know...I'm going to build a couple of 6 string V's - it's time
             - t
hinking of you and what you did for us David!

Really cool the feedback from players out there that remember El Rayo X days in the 80's and sharing their memories of David...definitely David is going to be remembered for a long long time.
