I had just learned of the passing of guitar pioneer and co-founder of G&L guitars George Fullerton. He passed away Saturday of heart failure. May he rest in piece.

RIP George. I have had the opportunity to play G&L Guitars once while browsing the selection at State College, PA. I should try them again since I have more knowledge about guitars than I did then.

Early on we were a G&L dealer. Back in those days you could call the factory and sometimes George or Dale Hyatt would answer the phone. I always thought it was cool to talk to guys that were true pioneers in the business.

May he rest in peace.
