S-style solidbody enthusiasts will be thrilled with the Larry Carlton S7 Electric Guitar from Sire. Designed in collaboration with the iconic Grammy-winning guitarist, this model delivers classic playability, tone, and stage presence at an impressive price. Featuring a lightweight, resonant alder body, the S7 offers incredible comfort for extended performances and a rich tone, even when unplugged. Amplified, it boasts a versatile Sire Super-ST pickup configuration, and the roasted hard maple neck and fingerboard ensure smooth playability. The Sire Modern Tremolo Bridge provides excellent sustain and tuning stability.
Equipped with two Sire Super-ST single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions, and a humbucker in the bridge position, the S7 delivers a wide range of tones from snappy and spanky to sweet and singing. This pickup setup is ideal for various styles, including funk, jazz, and hard rock. The pickups handle both high-gain settings and clean tones with ease, making the S7 perfect for stage and studio use. Fans of '70s and '80s L.A. session guitar tones will recognize the nostalgic sound instantly.
The roasted hard maple neck and fingerboard enhance resonance and playability, with rolled fingerboard edges and medium-jumbo frets ensuring a comfortable experience for chording and lead runs. Guitarists who have tested the S7 appreciate its classic feel and response.
