Designed and supervised by the famous American musician, the SIRE Larry Carlton S7 Ash Top (Amber Burst) is not just another vulgar copy of the benchmark Fender© Stratocaster©. While it shares the same fundamentals (alder body, screwed maple neck, rosewood fingerboard with 25.5″ scale, traditional vibrato), it excels in terms of price/performance ratio.

The luthiery combines a body in North American alder with a beautiful ash top, a screw neck in roasted maple and a fingerboard also in roasted maple. A platform that delivers a perfect compromise between thickness and density, clarity and dynamics. The bass is generous but precise, the midrange present but measured, the treble musical.
In addition to giving the wood an elegant patina, the torrefaction process improves the instrument’s stability, sustain, clarity and resonance, while protecting it from thermal variations, humidity and mildew.

The Sire Larry Carlton S7 Ash Top produces expressive, seductive tones, from crystal-clear clarity thanks to its Sire Standard single-coil pickups, to hard-rock saturation 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 S7 Ash Top is a perfectly crafted solidbody electric guitar, with every component rigorously selected. Its meticulous craftsmanship is truly remarkable.
Add to this an undeniable comfort of play (very pleasant neck profile, 9.5/14″ hybrid 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.
