  • Very sad indeed, I'm truly shocked, what a player he was, far too young as well.

    Thats just horrible news!
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    This is the hardest announcement we have ever had to make……….…We are stunned and shocked to announce the death of our band mate and long-time friend, Michael Casswell. Michael died in tragic circumstances on Friday whilst on holiday in Spain. We cannot find the words to describe how we are feeling at this extremely painful time. Michael was an absolutely gifted guitarist and we will miss him enormously as will his fans and followers too. We send our love and sympathy to his family and friends.

    This sucks... one hell of a player, absolutely love/loved watching his guitar interactive reviews on YouTube.

    So sad . Was a really nice guy. Didn't know him well other than via his videos but was always cool when I was doing "guest lectures" at ACM on guitar maintenance

    Blimey, that's terrible news. Same as others, I only know him through his youtube lick library stuff. Seemed like a genuinely nice guy. RIP
    I would love to change my username, but I fully understand the T&C's (it was an old band nickname). So please feel free to call me Dave.

    It's all over the internet on music sites.

    Who on earth released the information before his family had been properly informed?

    Is it possible that @fiona knows some of the family?

    On the basis that she might, I would suggest not calling her out on it....

    @TTony - perhaps this should be moved to SC?
