SIRE S7FM Larry Carlton
Музыка
THE SIRE FLAMED S-SHAPED ELECTRIC GUITAR
The S-style Sire guitar is enhanced with 5A flamed veneer on the body to make it look more fascinating ready for stage and studio performances. Its retro features from body to hardware and electronics make Larry Carlton's tonal characteristics standout.
FEATURES
- The neck of the Sire S7 is composed of a roasted maple neck, rolled fretboard edges, and satin finish to make landing of chords and guitar solos more comfortable.
- Its electronics and hardware are finely configured to the tonal preferences of Larry Carlton.

hey one big update for the 2022 S7 models is that beyond changing the pickup covers, controls and pick guard to ivory, they changed the bridge to a zebra and added the ability to split the coils on the humbucker using a push/push tone knob. Just received mine (in blue) two weeks ago. WORTH THE WAIT!! (4 months). Would love to see you do an updated video

I love this guy he gets down to the point and I agree with literally everything he said about sire infact I ordered the sire LP gold and black for trade for a fender stratocaster player even trade.i don't care about the name I want the quality I honestly don't really like stratocaster it's not as well built as the sire

@@johnkennedy3531 Honest observations John and I completely agree with you! I tried a Fender Strat at GC and was unimpressed with the finish and feel but the killer for me were the pickups. When I received my Sire I was literally blown away at the difference in quality. Not just for the price either, I mean it was perfectly setup! And Sire's pickups are one of the first ones I didn't have to replace right out of the box either.

They didn't just change the covers ;). The newer pickups are actually an upgrade. The mid-range on the newer pickups give you a little more punch/boost over the 1st Generations.
Virtuostic playing Jon! Beautiful lines! The demo I needed. Unbelievable value for superb workmanship! A little chunk is great!

Hurray! You finally got a Sire! I knew you would like it. Notice the tuning pegs vary in height. That's what eliminates the need for a string tree.
