Aw man! He was a great spokesperson for Guild. He gave the perfect demo for the NS X-175 when it first came out. RIP
Great interview with him here as well talking about the Fender Custom Shop.

RIP, Mike. Thanks for being part of Guild back during the heady days of it's 60th!

Mike Lewis?? That makes me sad. I exchanged the odd message with him on the old Gretsch forum or facebook - didn't really know him, but he seemed like a very nice guy, and he knew guitars.

So sad...I had a long conversation with him at NAMM when they introduced the Newark St. Line and he explained every detail to me.
RIP Mike!
