Neutrality

Does anyone else agree, that this article has too much POV? I think Lenny was a great musician, but by Wikipedia's policies, neutrality should be kept in the articles.

I agree, go ahead and take out the parts that are POV. Remember, be BOLD when editing. dq 18:06, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree as well, I shall try to remove some non-neutral parts. --Vince ^|Talk| 17:51, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

La Bella

The assertion re: La Bella custom string is wrong. La Bella made a 0.062 _steel_ string for Lennys custom Holmes _electric_ guitar. The whole La Bella thing is hardly worth mentioning in light of the fact that Lenny innovated the use of a high A string as the seventh string, rather than the customary low A. He settled on a Kirk Sand seven string electric tuned E A D G B E A in his last years of life. See "One Long Tune:.......", by Ron Forbes-Roberts, p 94.
