Not sure what to say?

miss you cowboy

always remember

Billy was a great guitar luthier and did me many favors over the years. I was lucky enough to buy one of his signature models thats ONE OF A KIND! Love this guy

miss him still brings a smile to me and a pain that he is gone hey toni and ricky

I had the privilege of meeting Billy in 1990 when he was located in Homewood, and then followed him to Highland music where he and his daughters built that famous strat of many colors. WOW!
He did later build me a Tele style guitar that I cherish till this day, and will not change anything on it.
