Supervised down to the smallest detail by the famous American musician, the SIRE Larry Carlton Q7 Hollow (Transparent Black) is ostensibly inspired by the PRS© Hollowbody in a much less expensive but still very high quality version! (Mahogany hollowbody with maple top, glued mahogany neck, Ebony fingerboard with 25″ tuning fork, double-coil pickups, fixed bridge).
Combining the accessibility of a solid-body electric guitar with the acoustic resonance of a hollow body, it excels in terms of price/performance ratio.

The lutherie combines a « Full Chambered » Mahogany body with a Maple top enhanced by a superb figured Maple veneer, a Maple neck and an Ebony fingerboard. The sound is naturally full-bodied and warm, as velvety as it is expressive. Generous lows with no lack of dynamics, rich mids and muted highs.

Equipped with a duo of nuanced Sire Q Humbucker dual-coil pickups, the Q7 Hollow is equally at home with clean sounds (pop, funk, traditional blues, modern jazz) and crunch, right up to hard-rock saturation (although its design is not suited to more radical registers such as contemporary metal).

The SIRE Larry Carlton Q7 Hollow is a perfectly crafted hollow-body electric guitar, with every component rigorously selected. Its meticulous craftsmanship is truly remarkable (chamfered fret edges, stainless steel frets, locking tuners).
Add to this an undeniable comfort of play (very pleasant neck profile, 10″ radius) and you have the ideal model for the intermediate musician.
It is unquestionably on the podium of instruments in the mid-range category.
