Sire Larry Carlton S7 Electric Guitar, Champagne Gold

Signature S-style Packed with Sonic Versatility!

S-style solidbody enthusiasts are going to fall positively head over double cutaway for the Larry Carlton S7 Electric Guitar from Sire. Designed in collaboration with the legendary Grammy-winning guitarist himself, the S7 arms you with the classic playability, tone, and stage presentation of renowned S-style instruments at a price point that requires a double take. A lightweight, resonant alder body offers incredible comfort for hours of performance with a rich tone that impresses even when unplugged. That said, this beauty was made for amplification. With its Sire Super-ST pickup configuration, the S7 is positively packed with sonic versatility that will fit just about any style. A roasted hard maple neck and fingerboard offer smooth response and incredible playability. And a Sire Modern Tremolo Bridge delivers stellar sustain and tuning support.

Trio of pickups for a spectrum of sonic colorings
Two Sire Super-ST single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions are paired with a coil-splittable bridge humbucker to deliver an impressive array of sonic colorings, from snappy and spanky to snarly, sweet, and singing. An ideal trio for everything from funk to jazz to hard rock, these pickups can be driven hard without cracking up, or played at low volume for a really pristine clean tone, making this instrument perfect for both the stage and the studio. And if you're a fan of '70s and '80s L.A. session-era guitar tone — arguably Mr. Carlton's most prodigious studio years — you will hear that nostalgic sonic presentation instantly!

Roasted neck and fingerboard
Most players agree that a roasted neck makes quite a difference, removing tiny impurities in the wood that can have a subtle effect on its overall resonance. The roasted hard maple neck and fingerboard on this beauty are a testament to the results of this process. And with rolled fingerboard edges and medium-jumbo frets, you're assured of a supreme level of playability and response that makes for hours of comfortable chording and effortless lead runs.
