Larry has done all my teles except my 52ri, including a custom Esquire project based on a 50's Classic. He did a 60's strat for me including pups and a blend circuit I sent him for it. Larry has always gotten my setups to a 'T'. He knows what I like and nails it every time.

Last year, I sent him a '72 ES 335 I picked up that needed some renovation work. The guit had great tone but needed to be put right from previous mods. I won't get into all the work he did on it but you just can't tell cosmetically that the 335 didn't come from the factory the way it looks now. I am talking painstaking attention to detail. Now the 335 is killer in tone, playability and looks.

I have no comment on what others perceptions are about 'Gold Level' setup, etc., but I do know that every instrument I've recieved from Larry has been top level professional quality. Anybody who has played my teles knows what I'm saying.

Just my .02...
