A Vintage-Character H7 VS in the Semi-Hollow Family

With its Vintage Sunburst finish and chrome hardware, the Larry Carlton H7 VS fits within the spirit of classic semi-hollow guitars: lutherie focused on musicality, roundness, and nuance. Its maple construction and dual humbucker electronics make it an expressive guitar, designed to transition from soft playing to more aggressive attacks without losing clarity.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

This guitar is especially aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a versatile and inspiring semi-hollow. It excels in jazz, blues, vintage rock, soul, and fusion, with a true ability to handle rich clean tones as well as moderate overdrive. The 24.75" / 629 mm scale length promotes a smooth playing feel, ideal for bends and phrasing.

Sound

The flamed solid maple top, combined with the maple back and sides, delivers precise attack, good projection, and excellent note sustain, while maintaining the typical roundness of a semi-hollow body. The mahogany neck adds body in the low mids, while the ebony fingerboard enhances articulation and clarity, especially on complex chords and single-note lines.

The two chrome Alnico 2 humbuckers provide a warm and nuanced output: a full and singing neck pickup for jazz/blues, and a sharper bridge pickup for rock and dynamic rhythms. The 2 volume, 2 tone controls (one pair per pickup) and the 3-position selector switch allow easy shaping of the tone, from velvety cleans to expressive overdrive. The combination of Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum tailpiece contributes to stability and sustain.
