Sire Larry Carlton S7 LH TP

The S7 New Gen Series: The Larry Carlton Spirit, Optimized for Modern Playing

Within the Larry Carlton range, the S7 New Gen positions itself as an S-Style guitar focused on comfort and consistency for everyday use. This left-handed variant retains the fundamentals that define the series' DNA (playability, refined finishes, effective electronics) while adding premium choices designed to last, such as stainless steel frets and the Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut. The "Tide Pool" finish and silver aluminum pickguard provide a modern visual signature, instantly recognizable.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

This Sire S7 New Gen Larry Carlton is aimed at the left-handed guitarist from motivated beginner to intermediate/advanced who wants a versatile instrument, ready for both stage and home studio. The C-shaped neck profile and compound radius 9.5" to 14" / 241 to 356 mm facilitate clean chords, precise funk riffs, and controlled bend solos. It feels at ease in pop, funk, blues, rock, and fusion, with a dynamic response that follows picking variations well.

Sound Characteristics

The SIRE LC Super-ST pickup set highlights a clear attack and great right-hand sensitivity. The intermediate positions of the 5-position selector offer classic S-Style tones, ideal for percussive rhythms and defined arpeggios, while the other positions provide fuller sounds suited for blues and rock. The combination of a North American alder body and maple neck/fretboard favors a balance between snap, definition, and sustained low-mids, with sustain supported by modern hardware. The simple electronics (1 volume, 1 tone) remain intuitive and effective for shaping the sound without getting lost in settings.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To get the best playing comfort, 9-42 or 10-46 gauge strings are a coherent choice depending on your attack and style. A ST-style gig bag or hard case will suit the body shape, and an electric guitar capo will fit the nut width of 42 mm / 1.65".
