In 1980, Neil Lilien called me into his office and showed me some brochures of piano benches.
"So, what's this about,?" I asked.
"We're thinking about making these at the factory for a company that sells them. We could knock these benches out really quickly and easily."
"Why do you want to dilute the company's focus on guitars,?" I replied. "We should keep producing better guitars and come up with some really killer electrics and throw those S series guitars out the door. They don't sell."
Guild never made piano benches, thank goodness. To Neil's credit, he did value my advice from time to time.
