Carl Carlton: Soul, Songcraft and Six Strings
Carl Carlton is one of music’s great all-rounders. A respected guitarist, songwriter, and performer, his career has spanned decades across rock, blues, soul, and Americana. Known for his work alongside legends including Robert Palmer, Eric Burdon, and Joe Cocker, Carlton combines technical mastery with a deep sense of groove and feel.
His playing is rooted in songcraft rather than showmanship. Whether delivering a powerful lead, subtle accompaniment, or acoustic performance, Carlton’s touch is defined by taste, dynamics, and musicality. His influences draw from American roots music, classic rock, blues, and folk traditions, creating a style that feels both timeless and unmistakably his own.
Carlton plays a Larson for its balance, responsiveness, and rich tonal character. The instrument’s clarity and depth complement his expressive approach, allowing every nuance of his playing to come through with confidence and warmth.
For Carl, a guitar should inspire creativity rather than demand attention. Larson provides the voice, feel, and connection that allow the music to take centre stage.
Eric Bibb and the Sound of Tradition
Eric Bibb is a celebrated voice in contemporary acoustic blues, known for his soulful songwriting and expressive fingerpicking. Born in New York in 1951, he blends American folk, gospel, and blues traditions with a global perspective built over decades of touring and recording.
Bibb’s Larson guitar is central to his sound. He describes it as “coming home” — drawn to its warmth, balance, and responsiveness. For an artist who plays with feel and intention, Larson’s heritage design is the perfect match.
Together, Bibb and Larson guitars carry forward a legacy of honest music that speaks across generations.

Lombardi plays a Larson for its balance, dynamic response, and tonal clarity. The instrument’s vintage-inspired build complements his detailed technique and expressive phrasing.
For Andrea, the guitar isn’t just a tool — it’s a voice. And Larson gives him the range, character, and connection to bring every note to life.
