A vintage-spirited semi-hollow in the Larry Carlton series
The H7V LH BK EN Black fits within the spirit of great historic semi-hollows, featuring a sober black finish and craftsmanship designed to combine acoustic resonance with control when amplified. In a left-handed version, it targets guitarists who want to recapture the feel and character of "old school" instruments while enjoying modern ergonomics (C-shaped neck, comfortable radius) and equipment suited for both stage and studio playing.
For which guitarists and styles?
This semi-hollow is particularly suitable for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a guitar sensitive to touch and nuances. The P90 pickups make it very comfortable in blues, vintage rock, modern jazz, soul, and indie: it responds immediately to pick attack as well as softer playing, and is easily controlled via two volumes and two tone controls to sculpt the sound in real time.
The sound
The semi-hollow format brings air and a slight natural compression: chords breathe, notes sing, and sustain remains generous. The maple (body, back, and sides) promotes a clear attack, precise highs, and firm lows, helping to maintain good definition in a band setting. The two P90s provide a very expressive range, with present mids and excellent dynamics: neck pickup for round and velvety tones, bridge pickup for more bite, and combined positions for rich and edgy textures. The Tune-O-matic bridge and aluminum tailpiece contribute to note sustain and a crisp response, ideal for bluesy licks and vintage crunch.
