An established guitar repairman since 1969, Larry has worked for Neil Young, Carlos Santana, Jefferson Airplane, Steve Miller, Mike Bloomfield, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and many more.
Larry has accompanied Neil Young on every show of every tour he has undertaken since 1973. Neil has unusual tastes in guitars & amps, including a strobe tuner for each string on his guitar. Such extravagance may seem excessive, but both Larry & Neil insist on using the best tuners - strobes. The Peterson VS-1 was the only new addition to their tuner arsenal of six ST-11 Strobotuners (5 for Neil, one for Larry) for 25 years. Since then, Larry has come to rely on a VS-II, a StroboFlip and a StroboPLUS. Larry is also an accomplished steel guitar player and Carlos Santana´s choice of tech when it comes time to hit the road.
A professional musician himself, Larry's interest in and experience with tone enhancement and sound amplification has allowed him to work as a contributing writer for Frets Magazine's new product reviews column.
