S-style solidbody enthusiasts are going to fall positively head over double cutaway for the Sire Larry Carlton S7 FM electric guitar. Designed in collaboration with the legendary Grammy-winning guitarist himself, the S7 FM arms you with the classic playability, tone, and stage presentation of renowned S-style instruments at a price point that requires a double take. A lightweight, resonant alder body with a flamed maple veneer offers incredible comfort for hours of performance with a rich tone that impresses even when unplugged. That said, this beauty was made for amplification. With its Sire Super-ST pickup configuration, the S7 FM is positively packed with sonic versatility that will fit just about any style. The roasted hard maple neck and fingerboard offer smooth response and incredible playability, and the Sire Modern tremolo bridge delivers stellar sustain and tuning support.
Two Sire Super-ST single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions are paired with a coil-splittable humbucker in the bridge position to deliver an impressive array of sonic colorings, from snappy and spanky to snarly, sweet, and singing. An ideal trio for everything from funk to jazz to hard rock, these pickups can be driven hard without cracking up or played at a low volume for a pristine clean tone, making this guitar perfect for both the stage and the studio. And if you’re a fan of 1970s and ’80s Los Angeles studio-session guitar tone — arguably Mr. Carlton’s most prodigious studio years — you will hear that nostalgic sonic presentation instantly!
Most players agree that a roasted neck makes quite a difference, removing tiny impurities in the wood that can have a subtle effect on its overall resonance. The roasted hard maple neck and fingerboard on this beauty are a testament to the results of this process. And rolled fingerboard edges and medium jumbo frets ensure a supreme level of playability and response for hours of comfortable chording and effortless lead runs. The many guitarists who have test driven the S7 FM are blown away by the neck’s classic feel and response.
