Introducing Mr. 335's Personal Guitar As Larry Carlton has shown throughout his incredible, multi-faceted career as a first-call session guitarist and a successful recording artist, the double-cutaway, semi-hollow body ES-335 is the perfect guitar for practically any musical setting. It's as perfect a fit for jazz and fusion as it is for blues and beyond. The Larry Carlton signature model features all the personal specs of the man known around the world as "Mr. 335," from the custom '60s neck profile to the Vintage Sunburst finish with single-ply cream binding. Gibson Larry Carlton Signature ES-335 at a Glance: Semi-hollow body maple/poplar/maple top, back and sides with single-ply cream binding 1960 slim-taper mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard Two '57 Classic Reissue humbuckers with nickel covers The Guitar Heard Around the World Larry Carlton has played on countless hit records and best-selling albums. His solos on many Steely Dan recordings alone would make him one of the most respected session players in the business, but Larry has played in a veritable encyclopedia of styles from hard rock to cutting edge jazz fusion. His weapon -- err, well, guitar of choice has long been a Gibson ES-335 from the 1960s. The Larry Carlton Signature ES-335 captures the look and vibe of this versatile tone machine. Slim-taper 1960s Profile Neck Larry prefers the profile of the 1960s slim-taper mahogany neck, and who are we to argue with that? Since it's made of mahogany, you know the neck will be rock solid for years (or decades) of worry-free durability. The rosewood fingerboard with pearloid block inlays feels great and delivers a perfectly balanced tone. If it didn't play incredibly fast and feel absolutely great, you have to ask yourself, "Would Larry play it?" The answer should be obvious! Two '57 Classic Humbuckers Onboard Most would agree that the '57 PAF (Patent Applied For) humbuckers are as good as it gets when you're talking about tone. It's got it all: Complex midrange, punchy lows and a smooth top end that won't make your teeth hurt. For those seeking the often overused "out-of-phase" session sound which ruled the airwaves back in the 1980s, this is not the guitar you're looking for. If you're looking for a pickup that starts out clean and can really smoke when your amp is on 11, well then, that's just how Larry likes it! Gibson Larry Carlton Signature ES-335 Features: Color: Vintage Sunburst Top: Maple / poplar / maple Back: Maple / poplar / maple Sides: Maple / poplar / maple Neck: Mahogany Fingerboard: Rosewood with pearloid block inlays Number of frets: 22 Pickups: Two '57 Classic Humbuckers Controls: Two each tone and volume with three-way pickup selector switch Machine heads: Schaller M6 Hardware: Nickel plated Case: Black smooth levant This signature 335 comes alive in your hands! Gibson: Don't Mess with a Good Thing Gibson guitars have been around for well over a century. When guitarists are looking for an outstanding combination of superb tone and playability along with great looks and gorgeous finishes, the choice for most of those 100 plus years has been Gibson. From their amazing collection of fine acoustics to the electric guitars that literally rewrote music history, Gibson guitars have been on almost every chart-topping album from artists like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Cream and Led Zeppelin. These "first call" instruments also cross an enormous array of diverse styles, from folk and country to blues and hard rock. With that resume, it's not surprising that so many of Gibson's best-selling instruments have changed little over the decades. Because there's just no sense in messing with a good thing!
