Vintage Sunburst, Back Vintage Sunburst, Close Angle

"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.

Great guitar. Killer neck -- perfect balance between a thinline and a full '50's baseball bat neck. Great sustain, very versatile.

I have owned some where around 163 guitars. So you would think that I should know a good one by now. This is by far the best 335 I have played. Excellant fret job. I only added strap locks, and it was ready to go. If you like Larry Carlton this guitar is for you.

I recently purchased this guitar. I expected there may be some finish flaws under close inspection. I was suprised, this unit was nearly perfit. The finish quality was amazing. Plugged it up and started recording right away. Absolutely no issues, and it was everything I expected and more. The tone from this 335 is great. I must say, the pick guard finish fit around the neck pickup was perfect. I have not seen this in a Gibson for many years. Fingerboard inlay fit and finish, nearly perfect.
