yeahs I saw this on Facebook. It's eerie because just a couple weeks ago I Googled "wayne charvel" and learned he had relocated up to Paradise of SoCal and he was still building guitars. Just a few days later the fire happened, and then I read again that he lost everything. So sad.

Yeah, Facebook is where I saw it first, too.

Guess I should've put this in the "Talk About Anything" thread. Kinda shocking to learn one-of-a-kind, historic `80's guitars got burned up, though.
