Rest in Peace George L

Playing catch-up from earlier in the week I’d be remiss if I did not mention that George Lewis, the founder of George L’s cables, passed away 22 May in Nashville. Madison, Tennessee-based George L’s is one of the industry’s leading innovators of instrument cable and electronic components. According to a NAMM.org posting, George played a large role in the development of ShoBud as a retail store and manufacturer of steel pedal guitars. The entire Lewis family works in the business, which now is operated by his two daughters. A World War II veteran, and Pearl Harbor survivor, Lewis was 87 years old. Rest in Peace, George L.
