Inspired by Larry Carlton?s musical approach, the L7 New Gen transposes the "single cut" DNA into a contemporary and reliable platform. This left-handed model incorporates the improvements of the New Gen series ? LC Vintage-2 pickups, durable components, refined finishes ? to offer left-handed players an expressive, robust solid-body guitar ready for both stage and studio.
Thanks to its smooth playability and intuitive electronics, this guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced left-handed guitarists. Its versatility covers jazz and fusion favored by Larry Carlton, as well as blues, rock, and pop. With a 3-position selector and push/pull coil splits, it transitions from articulate cleans to singing crunch tones, up to leads with generous sustain.
The mahogany body and neck provide dense mids and natural sustain, while the ebony fingerboard adds definition and precise attack. The 24.75" / 628 mm scale length ensures a softer string tension and easy vibrato. With a 12" / 305 mm radius and medium jumbo stainless steel frets, bends are smooth and intonation remains stable. The LC Vintage-2 humbuckers deliver a warm and precise tone; coil splitting opens up more incisive and bright sounds, ideal for dynamic arpeggios or cutting rhythms.
For this left-handed electric guitar, opt for nickel strings 10-46 (or 9-42 if you prefer more flexibility), a sturdy strap, a 6.35 mm instrument jack cable, and a clip-on tuner. A stable guitar stand and a maintenance kit (microfiber cloth, fingerboard care product compatible with ebony) are useful additions. Fully compatible universal accessories.
