LsL Instruments Guitar Factory Tour

In this episode of Guitar Factory Tour, we went to LsL Instruments in Santa Clarita, California. It is about a 40-min drive from our shop here in Pasadena. LsL was founded in 2008 by husband-and-wife couple Lance S. Lerman and Lisa S. Lerman in the garage of their home. Lance is very knowledgeable in every single aspect of the guitar building process. LsL Instruments makes well over 90% of the guitar parts. Their meticulous attention to detail is what sets them apart and makes their guitars playing and sounding great. "The reason they sound great is because of all those little steps" - Lance.

If this doesn't make you want to buy an LSL I don't know what the heck will. Extremely proud to be an LSL Artist!!!!!!!

[@jamesmoore9216]

Same here . I’ve been playing their guitars since 2011.

[@spchaledonnj68]

Where can someone buy these? Do we go directly to their website to order or are there other retailers that carry them?

[@chandlertwilson6652]

I was on the fence with one in my cart then I saw this video.. I pulled the trigger after seeing this. Did I really have a choice? Will see how it compares to my PRS. Totally different philosophies.

[@mojo6778]

This is quite a impressive video.

[@michaelvarney.]

Got my first today!

[@cuinoz3569]

What a wonderful tour. This is exactly how to bring buyers to the table. I will definitely be shopping for a LSL. Thanks for sharing.

[@sergemoreillon1236]

M Lerman est une personne attachante et j'adore cette aventure en couple! Belle histoire et super guitares! Bravo!

[@stephenfeldman8104]

Lance's dedication to perfection -- 😙. The day in, day out attention to detail is something to be admired.

[@Guitarplayer_]

This is a company I want to support. Definitely will be picking up an LsL after seeing this video.

[@ARRITDOR]

Lance makes much more sense than Paul. I agree with everything he said. They're on my short list to acquire later this year. Also one of the best factory tours. Thanks!

[@ParagonGarage]

I came across LSLs shop yesterday its just a few miles from my home, I entered the facility and Lance greeted me immediately he took me on a complete tour of his shop and i felt like a kid in a candy store what an amazing place and amazing people. Their products and attention to detail are top notch. Cant wait to go back this Friday and check out some guitars for a future purchase

[@blastsucarta1068]

Thanks for the tour

[@bleeknoir]

Got my second LSL (a custom build) flying from the US to the UK as I type this. Very proud to play LSL guitars. Great instruments by great folks.

[@wildwestguitars]

That's so awesome!!

[@JimRosebush-g8v]

I just hear about LsL Guitars!! I am very impressed!!!!

[@aidanswafford]

Bought my fiesta red Saticoy One after watching this. Best guitar I’ve owned. The resonance and way the body rings out is very special 🔥

[@ZackSeifMusic]

Some of the nicest people I've ever worked with! The staff really makes you feel like home. Proud to be an LsL Artist and supporter.

[@JohnMcDougall1]

Really enjoyed this. Getting an LSL tele today via ups (Matt’s Music) and watching while I wait for the truck…nice to have a deeper appreciation for this blessed company and process.

[@RahulSingh-wv4hc]

I have a couple of their creations - "Spanke" & "Eden" and they are a joy to play. I am a beginner and purchased them based on feel and sound. Money well spent.

[@JS-nf1sn]

They are amazing guitars. Super resonant, the pickups sound great. I have an HSS Strat version and the humbucker fits in with the singles perfectly, not too hot. It's one of the only guitars where I've never thought about changing anything. And it's light.

[@adam-yk6yd]

Proud owner of “Sapphire” here 👋 absolutely blown away but the sound, feel and looks of the guitar. It was great to see the place she came from and hear from the man himself!

[@jasonqtx]

Wow, this is so cool! I have a T Bone in production now and I couldn’t be more excited. Thanks for making this video!

[@jray5363]

I had never heard of the brand until Jerry’s Lefty Guitars started selling them. It’s nice to learn more about about them. Looks like a cool company that cares about the quality of what they make. This video has scored them quite a few points.

[@darrenpagliuca2270]

I love my LSL T-Bone Tele!

[@wildwestguitars]

They make amazing guitars!

[@aquinojose94]

I can tell he’s very involved in everyday guitar making. That personal touch is what makes great quality instruments.

[@UpliftingRiffs]

I got to play one today and enjoyed it. Watching this factory tour really helped to appreciate the level of hand craftsmanship and price point.

[@portobear]

Absolutely love my Saticoy, build quality, feel and tone are off the charts. fabulous instruments.

[@mrandmrswheels1142]

Really enjoyed that, Stange, I now want a LSL guitar 🎸 😂

[@Joevi88]

Thank you very much for that. Now I really want some LSL instruments.

[@wildwestguitars]

Thank you for watching! LsL Instrument makes quality guitars! We will feature them next week on Wild West Guitar Talk. Please stay tuned.

[@waterman3230]

Hey Lance! I'm glad to see your video, and I'm still using the Tele you built me. Always my first choice on the road. I've got probably 20 guitars at this point, including Fender Custom Shop Tele's. THIS LSL is the one I always seems to choose.

[@lazvt8469]

Got a used one yesterday. Should be here in a few days. Reviews have been excellent… a lefty too! 🤗

[@guidorosei4618]

I simply LOVE what you are doing and how, I appreciate your philosophy and I guess... I will end up ordering one of your guitars :-)

[@omardelgado3904]

Gracias por este tour de lujo!!!

[@iansnyder274]

What a lovely man! LSL seem like great instruments!

[@GabeHelma]

Extremely inspiring!😂 i want to work in a guitar shop

[@TrevBec]

Really enjoyed this!

[@wildwestguitars]

Thank you!

[@Nightjar726]

Wow not many manufacturers actually sand in relief on their necks. Nice job !

[@andyread5363]

You make lovely guitars and now I can see why they turn out so good. Time to sell a few others and save up to get my own.

[@marekspacek1211]

Impressive. I own an LSL Saticoy and it's fantastic.

[@clausherther]

Lance is the best

[@kmatax9237]

Ive seen several of this company tours and love watching this guy and would love to work there and learn from him...are you hiring Lance?

[@jonathonrich8061]

Lance is so cool! I'm definitely getting a Saticoy. Probably a T bone eventually.

[@marktser0jedi]

Sweet sounding tele !

[@alexwoolridge94aw]

I've never even heard of this company. I'm a Gibson guy but if I ever buy an F style guitar I'll consider LsL

[@danolivier4899]

the baribone looks totally sick and I have to have one

[@Utube-s8m]

Didn’t they used to give their guitars names? I remember yrs ago Brian Kahanek whose a great guitarist was playing one. It was a really good demo. I’m going to go look for it.

[@ARRITDOR]

They still do.

[@PaulRoseGuitar]

The very best

[@Andri-r2x]

Keren banget..👍👍👍👍

[@klodianberisha9696]

I agree with the old boss about everything he says apart from"Thick lacquer and finish kills the tone". All the guitar manufacturers are saying that but it is not true. It's the opposite. They say that simply because time consuming and it costs them more money. I believe hard thick nitro lacquer, specially in the pickup cavities ,makes the guitar sounds better because sounds bounces back from the wood of the body .

[@basrattanavanich5401]

I like the sound of my Saticoy One B, but you must also get a Fender Custom Shop if you want an old-school sound.

[@chumpchange00]

Wonder if they do a bit of finishing on that truss rod. Looked really crude. Besides that the guitars look amazing

[@jeffmazzei8520]

I appreciate the work you do , but why do you have skunk stripe on the neck if you have a separate fingerboard ? You guys to Me are a second choice to Suhr or Tom Anderson. Keep up the good work.

[@DaveElke]

I wonder how lance feels about Pine vs Ash for a tele..?

[@dadawang7209]

👍👍👍

[@wildwestguitars]

Yes!!!

[@stonephilips9361]

You build guitars you gots to 💨

[@xxxxxx1427]

😘Vanilla Telecaster 😍 22:31

[@johnvcougar]

Mine's called Paria!

[@snicrngs]

産地直送…

[@Adam-wz7pv]

Glad to hear stoned guys are building things you want me to pay $6k for. Not funny, TBH.

[@ampgent]
