I heard a rumor about someone's demise during a break at the show.........not at the show but outside of the premises.

He was supposedly a guitar builder. His wife was reportedly hospitalized. ANY NEWS?

I've searched diligently for info' but can't find any.

Hey Ray, it was Larry Agan, builder of the ETS steel.
Killed in an auto accident when leaving the show on Thursday night.

Wow. I saw the thread in "Going Home" for him, but never connected the name to the thread. This is terrible. My thoughts go out to his family and friends.

How is this going to affect production of the ETS?

Richard,,,When I talked to Bud yesterday he indicated that he and Larry's daughter were in the process of doing an inventory in preparation for probate. He said probate may take a year. I don't know about the future of ETS,,,maybe Al Brisco would know something,,,I think he stepped in to help some when Bud lost his previous partner (John Fabian). I personally think the ETS is a masterpiece long overdue in the PSG world. I had stripped out an old Excel that I had and am in the process of replacing it with ETS parts, which Larry had provided me with. Both Larry and I were excited about a S12 coming out VERY soon.
