Perhaps due to recent news of impending disaster over at Gibson Guitars, the folks at Reverb may have decided to make
the most recent installment of their series of unreleased interviews from the archives of guitar writer Tony Bacon, a conversation with former Fender Guitars executive
Dan Smith, who was instrumental in revitalizing the Fender brand during the 1980s when the company’s fortunes were at a low point and threatened the
survival of the iconic guitar maker.
Smith died at the age of 70 in 2016.
