Sire Larry Carlton S7 HSS CAR RN

A Contemporary S-Style in the Sire x Larry Carlton Lineage

The Sire S7 New Gen carries forward the "S-Style" spirit cherished in the Sire x Larry Carlton collaboration, with a focus on reliability and ergonomics. This evolution emphasizes durable components, a more modern feel, and immediate versatility, offering an electric guitar ready to handle rehearsals, gigs, and recording sessions with particularly refined perceived quality.

For Which Musician and Styles?

Designed for the intermediate guitarist looking to level up as well as the experienced musician seeking a modern S-Style, the S7 New Gen feels at home in blues, pop, funk, alternative rock, and fusion. The C-shaped neck profile and compound radius favor fast runs, rich chords, and expressive solos, while maintaining a familiar feel for rhythm playing and "chicken picking."

The Sound

The North American alder body delivers the typical balance sought in an S-Style: clear lows, present mids, and precise highs. The rosewood fingerboard softens the attack and adds a rounder, singing quality, ideal for nuanced leads. The H-S-S configuration clearly broadens the sonic palette: the single coils at neck and middle prioritize clarity, articulation, and bite for arpeggios and funk, while the bridge humbucker adds body and natural compression for rock riffs, thick crunches, and more sustained solos. The 5-position selector allows quick switching between tones, and the master Volume / master Tone controls help sculpt the grain from bright clean to warmer sounds.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To get the most out of the S7 New Gen, you can choose a nickel electric string set 9-42 (flexibility and ease of play) or 10-46 (more tension and attack), a strap, and a quality 6.35 mm jack cable. An electric guitar capo and a stable guitar stand also complement daily gear very well.
