Larry Carlton still doesn’t know who fired the shot that almost ended his life.
The bullet, fired by a young man on a bicycle passing by his North Hollywood studio, tore through Carlton’s carotid artery, destroyed his left vocal chord and severely damaged the nerves leading from his shoulder to his left arm. Without a quick response from the paramedics, Carlton could have bled to death on the spot.
The year was 1988. Carlton was one of the most respected and sought-after musicians in the world. He had played his signature Gibson ES-335 guitar on thousands of sessions with the top jazz, pop and rock acts in the business, including Joni Mitchell, Michael Jackson, John Lennon, Jerry Garcia, the L.A. Express, The Crusaders and Steely Dan.
After extensive surgery, doctors told him he would be fine after several months of rehabilitation. Carlton, however, doubted if he would ever play the same as he had on all those great records of the ’70s.

Gibson's Classic Tone Tip: Clean it Up Plug your Les Paul, SG Special, ES-335, or Flying V straight into a vintage-style tube amp, crank it up, and wail. It's the way the blues, classic rock, and even heavy metal were born. Sometimes, however, you want a cleaner, tighter, more focused sound |
