Lon Cohen Studio Rentals, provides World Class touring, recording and performance backline, professional cartage and temperature controlled storage in North Hollywood, California. Since 1994 LCSR has provided recording quality musical instruments and services to the most talented musicians, producers, engineers and artists on the planet. With a history of over two decades of working with top maj

or studios, television shows and venues in Los Angeles, LCSR has been called the “Ferrari” of back-line rental companies and has garnered accolades from the industry’s elite. Their “client” list reads as a “who’s who” of rock ‘n roll and their gear has been used on countless hit records, concerts and television show appearances. circuit as an 80’s hard rock guitarist worked for Frank Zappa both as a personal assistant and technician at the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen (Frank’s home studio).

The hysterically funny Joseph Brasler once told me a joke: "What do you throw a drowning guitar player? Answer: "his amp"... Well, not this dude.. what a riveting story.

Honored to have our 1963 Fender Vibroverb worked on by the illustrious David Friedman of Friedman Amplification and Rack Systems. Dave builds amps, pedals boards and racks for some of the most amazing guitarists in the world. Lon has known Dave since the 80's when they used to do cartage together. They used to haul these huge racks, cabinets and trunks for all the "studio greats" up multiple flights of stairs to sessions for many, many hit records and they are still talking and laughing about it today.

A treasured visit from the "great" Eddie Clothier. One of the most brilliant techs and the nicest guy you will ever meet. I've known Eddie since the 70's when we worked for Frank Zappa. He's the real deal and he offered to help me restore an old Lowrey Organo from the 50's. Can't wait to hear this thing in it's original glory.
