An "S-Style" designed for stage and studio in the Larry Carlton spirit
This LARRY CARLTON S5 LH follows Sire's approach: offering an electric guitar with an "S" style, refined finishes, and performance-oriented technical choices. The SSS configuration and simple controls (5-position selector, volume, tone) make it an efficient instrument to cover a wide repertoire, from crystalline sounds to biting rhythms.
For whom and for which styles?
Ideal for left-handed guitarists from beginner to intermediate levels seeking a reliable and versatile foundation, and equally suitable for advanced players looking for a ready-to-play "S-Style". It excels in funk, pop, blues, rock, gospel, and any context where definition and dynamism are sought, especially with effects (compressor, chorus, delay).
Sound
The alder body provides a well-known balance: present low mids, clear highs, and a consistent response that highlights playing nuances. The maple neck and fingerboard enhance attack and clarity, perfect for percussive chords and precise arpeggios. The Super-V LC Sire single-coil pickups (SSS) deliver a detailed spectrum: intermediate positions ideal for "glassy" rhythms, and a sharper bridge position to cut through the mix. The bone nut promotes good vibration transmission, while the bolt-on neck contributes to the instrument's reactive and incisive character.
