Sire Larry Carlton S7 Ash Top MN Amber Burst

Essential Information About the Sire S7 Ashtop Guitar

• "Premium" spirit in the Series 7: a configuration designed to go further in playing comfort, stability, and versatility.


• Roasted maple C-profile bolt-on neck: fast feel, excellent tuning stability, and consistent sensation across the entire neck.


• SIRE LC H-S-S pickup configuration: a bridge humbucker for impact, two single coils for clarity and intermediate positions.


• 2-point vibrato bridge + locking tuners: smooth vibrato action, more reliable return, and quick string changes.

An S7 Designed for Those Looking to Upgrade Within the Series 7

The Sire S7 Ashtop was developed for guitarists seeking higher-end specifications without leaving the modern DNA of the Series 7. It features a clearly "performance"-oriented approach: bolt-on neck for attack and precision, roasted maple for stability, and H-S-S electronics to cover a wide musical range. This "Ashtop" version also highlights the wood selection, with a body/top combination aimed at maintaining a good balance between definition, dynamics, and presence.

For Which Guitarists and Styles Is the S7 Ashtop Made?

With its "super strat" style ergonomics and reliability-focused hardware, the S7 Ashtop is especially suited for intermediate to advanced guitarists who want a responsive instrument ready for rehearsals and stage. The H-S-S configuration makes it comfortable in rock, pop, funk, modern blues, and more saturated genres (thanks to the bridge humbucker), while retaining clear and "snappy" tones for rhythm parts and intermediate positions. The C-profile neck and 22 frets facilitate both chords and more technical licks, with a quick and familiar feel.
