Designed and supervised by the famous American musician, the SIRE Larry Carlton S1 (Candy Apple Red) is not just another vulgar copy of the benchmark Fender© Stratocaster©. While it retains the fundamentals (screwed maple neck, rosewood fingerboard with 25.5″ tuning fork, traditional vibrato), it excels in terms of price/performance ratio.

Like a PRS Classic Electric, the lutherie combines a mahogany (Indonesian) body, a screw-down maple neck and a rosewood fingerboard. A platform producing a perfect compromise between roundness and bite, clarity and dynamics.

The Sire Larry Carlton S1 produces a wide range of seductive tones, from crystal-clear clarity thanks to its Sire Standard single-coil pickups, to saturated Hard-Rock thanks to its double-coil bridge pickup capable of producing generous, incisive saturation. Its versatility will enable you to tackle most musical registers.

The SIRE Larry Carlton S1 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 (pleasant neck profile, 9.5″ radius, chamfered fret edges) and you get a model that’s downright ideal for beginners, but could also suit a more experienced musician looking for a quality second guitar.
It’s unquestionably on the podium of instruments in its category.
