Designed and supervised by the famous American musician, the SIRE Larry Carlton L5 (Candy Apple Red) is not the umpteenth vulgar copy of the American reference model from which it takes its inspiration. While it retains the fundamentals (mahogany body, glued mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard with 24.75″ tuning fork, duo of double-coil pickups), it excels in terms of price/performance ratio.

The lutherie combines a mahogany body, maple top, mahogany glued neck and rosewood fingerboard. A positively classic, timeless platform. It generates a warm, dynamic acoustic base, with generous bass and midrange but no lack of clarity thanks to the Maple top.

Equipped with Standard-2 Humbucker pickups, the Sire Larry Carlton L5 produces expressive, seductive 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 most musical registers.

The SIRE Larry Carlton L5 is a perfectly crafted solid-body electric guitar, with every component rigorously selected. Its meticulous craftsmanship is truly remarkable.
Add to this its undeniable playing comfort (very pleasant neck profile, modern 12″ radius, chamfered fret edges) and you have the ideal model for the discerning beginner, which could also suit the more experienced musician looking for a high-quality second guitar.
It’s unquestionably on the podium of instruments in the mid-range category.
