Larry Strate

Larry Strate Crow River Guitars Paynesville MN

I’ve always had an incredible passion for acoustic music, and acoustic guitars specifically. I’ve appreciated quality instruments since the beginning.

Six years ago, I decided to take a vacation and go out and build a guitar. It was really an experiential thing at the time. After doing that, I came back, and I couldn’t get it out of my head. I called Joe and said, “Let’s build some guitars.”

The passion is the same as I have for music. You realize you can build for your whole life and still have lots to learn.

The thing that probably makes our guitars unique is the variety of woods we use. We have over 70 different exotic woods from all over the world. We focus on coordinating these woods for beauty, color and sound.

I will probably spend the rest of my life playing and building guitars, and I don’t think there’s anything I can do about that.
