Sire Larry Carlton S10 Hss Tgr Dc Mn Trans Green

A premium "S-Style" at the top of the S series

Within the Larry Carlton by Sire range, the S10 stands as the most refined version of the S series: a modern take on the "S-Style" format, combining meticulous craftsmanship (North American alder body and solid marbled poplar top) and a selection of renowned components, including a Gotoh bridge and a set of Seymour Duncan pickups. The goal is clear: to offer a precise, reliable instrument ready to withstand hours of playing without sacrificing comfort.

For which guitarists and styles?

The Larry Carlton S10 HSS is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a versatile electric guitar capable of covering a wide range of genres without hassle. The HSS configuration is particularly comfortable in pop, funk, blues, rock, and fusion: the single coil positions deliver "glassy" and articulate tones, while the bridge humbucker enhances sustain and thickness for punchy rhythms and more biting solos.

The sound

The Seymour Duncan H-S-S set combined with the 5-position selector switch provides access to a broad spectrum: sharp attack and definition in clean tones, more scooped and percussive intermediate sounds, and a humbucker position that adds body and useful gain. The alder body contributes to a natural balance (present mids, controlled lows), while the solid marbled poplar top offers a lively response and a more incisive character. The hard maple neck and fretboard enhance precision and brightness, ideal for clean rhythms and fast runs. In terms of feel, the 12" to 14" compound radius facilitates chords near the nut and makes bends more comfortable in the upper register, and the stainless steel frets maintain a consistent sensation even after heavy use. Finally, the Gotoh 510TS tremolo (steel saddles and block) promotes stability and a more direct attack, with solid sustain for a modern "S-Style".
