A Larry Carlton "S" Designed for Modern Playing
The Larry Carlton S5 is clearly designed with comfort and versatility in mind: an "S"-style electric guitar that combines a classic aesthetic (sunburst, pickguard) with construction and hardware choices suited to today's needs. This LH version puts left-handed guitarists front and center without compromising on specifications.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
With its three single-coil pickups and 5-position selector switch, the S5 LH is aimed at both demanding beginners and intermediate players looking for an expressive guitar that's easy to adjust daily. It excels in blues, funk, pop, rock, and all genres where clear, articulate tones, snappy "in-between" positions, and good dynamic response are sought.
Sound
The alder body provides a balanced foundation with present mids and good definition, ideal for an SSS setup. The combination of maple neck and maple fingerboard promotes attack and precision, delivering clear highs and a snappy response very useful for both rhythm and lead playing. The Super-V LC Sire pickups (SSS) paired with the 5-position selector switch allow quick shifts from crystal-clear clean tones to more biting sounds, while the volume and tone controls make it easy to adjust brightness and dynamics directly on the instrument.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the most out of this electric guitar, you can choose a set of electric guitar strings (gauge according to your playing comfort) as well as a standard strap for rehearsal and stage use.
