The double-cutaway semi-hollowbody ES-335 is the perfect guitar for practically any musical setting, as evidenced by Larry Carlton throughout his incredible multifaceted career as a first-call session guitarist and a successful recording artist. 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."It's common knowledge that, by luck, my 335 sounds better than any we had ever heard in the '70s," says Carlton, "it has a unique evenness and fatness that isn't dark. I made sure they copied it very closely." As the guitar ace on over 3,000 studio dates, Carlton prized his 335 for its amazing versatility for everything from light pop to hard bop. Custom heavy neck profile, Carlton Burst finish, and '57 Classic humbuckers make it just like the master's.FeaturesLaminated maple top, back, and sidesOne-piece mahogany neckBound 22-fret rosewood fingerboardPearloid block inlays'57 Classic humbucking pickupsBinding on top and backCustom Larry Carlton neck profileActual Weight: 8.25 lbs.HistorySince the late 1960s, Larry Carlton has appeared on thousands of recordings as a session player, in addition to his work as a solo recording artist which has earned him 18 Grammy nominations to go along with his three Grammy statues. Throughout it all, the main constant in Carlton’s wide-ranging career has been his beloved 1968 Gibson ES-335, which he still uses today.From the time his parents put a six-string into his hands at the age of six to his first gig at a supper club in 1962 to his first recorded album in 1968, With A Little Help From My Friends, “Mr. ES-335” has wowed audiences and critics alike with his virtuosity, and his unique bluesy rhythmic melodies and ringing guitar tone. He immediately endeared himself to anyone who was lucky enough to hear his distinctive blend of American jazz, blue, rock and pop guitar, which he developed by studying the inspirational techniques of artists like Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, Barney Kessel, B.B. King, along with legendary saxophonist John Coltrane and trumpeter Miles Davis.Body and NeckGibson Memphis decided to honor Carlton’s legacy in 2004 with the introduction of the Larry Carlton ES-335, which faithfully recreates his renowned six-string semi-hollowbody guitar, thus making it the perfect instrument for any musical setting. This legendary instrument features plain laminated maple top, back, and rims, with single-ply, crème-colored binding around the top and back. The finish has been dubbed the “Carlton Burst” for its resemblance to the faded burst finish on Carlton’s original guitar. The standard 24¾-inch scale neck features a slim-taper profile, topped with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, pearloid block inlays and single-ply binding along the fingerboard.HardwareA pair of Gibson’s legendary ’57 Classic pickups deliver all the warm, full tone and balanced response expected from a Gibson humbucker. Other standard appointments include a Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece, Schaller M6 tuners and chrome-finished hardware. The Larry Carlton ES-335 from Gibson Memphis comes with the standard Gibson Memphis case and certificate of authenticity.
