Dan Smith was inducted into Fender’s Hall of Fame for good reason. Dan designed the re-launching of the famous guitar company after it was sold by CBS. Dan’s vision was to bring the product back to the early concepts that originally made the Fender name famous. His success led to a long career with Fender including his role with artist relations and marketing. All of this is but one of many sides to Dan Smith, who was a true industry innovator!

2016 is merciless once again.

Sad to hear this news about Dan. He was a mover. a shaker, and, amongst many things, someone who touched us all. Thanks, for the heads up, Mike.

And thanks, Dan.

Peace

RIP Mr. Smith.

We will remember you kindly for taking us back from the precipice of the CBS debacle.
