The X1’s lutherie combines a Mahogany (Indonesian) body, a screwed Maple neck and a Rosewood fingerboard. A perfect platform for a compromise between thickness, clarity, bite and dynamics. Warm lows, generous mids and clear highs.

Equipped with Sire Basic-Humbucker pickups, the Larry Carlton X1 produces remarkable tones, whether saturated crunch and lead, or clean thanks to the coil-split function (push/pull tone control). Its versatility will enable you to tackle a wide range of musical styles, with a penchant for hard rock and metal.

The SIRE Larry Carlton X1 is a perfectly crafted electric guitar, with every component rigorously selected. The meticulousness of its construction is quite remarkable, with features that are rare on such an affordable instrument (chamfered fret edges).
Add to this undeniable playing comfort (pleasant neck profile, 14″ radius) and you have a model that’s downright ideal for beginners, but which could also suit a more experienced musician looking for a quality second guitar.
It is unquestionably on the podium of instruments in the entry-level category.
