Larry Carlton was very specific with the Gibson Shop when making of this articulate, highly expression shades of tone and sustain that is characteristic of the signature model. The comfort and ease of the action and the neck ,suited for quick single lines or chord sequence[ as recorded with Steely Dan] ring through the whole body like a human voice having a conversation. The Larry Burst is stunning and cannot be mistaken, particular to this Custom Shop model, as is clearly visible in the photographs. The headstock screams with the Mr.335 logo, as no other player and guitar combine together as a shining ambassador for the Gibson legendary 335 model of the 1969 that Larry plays to this day,[ also played on numerous sessions] which this model is designed on. This superb example from the Memphis Custom Shop factory is matchless, not many to be found in this immaculate condition. This is a serious instrument ready to play and express all you musical ideas and creativity. A prized gem, a player to grace a studio or be part of a collection. Larry Carlton is the most melodic guitar player and he spent hours to get his signature Mr.335 perfect in every way. This is the perfect Gibson for you.
