The "S7 New Gen" follows the Sire/Larry Carlton S-Style lineage by modernizing the concept: optimized components, refined finishes, and electronics updated for today?s stage. This left-handed version retains the hallmarks of a classic S while offering refinements that simplify the life of the modern guitarist.
Designed for intermediate to advanced musicians seeking a unique guitar for live and studio use, it excels in pop, funk, blues, rock, and fusion. Its comfort and intuitive playability also make it welcoming for a motivated beginner aiming to progress without limits.
The alder delivers a natural balance of tight lows, singing mids, and clear highs, while the maple neck/fingerboard adds attack and definition. The LC Super-ST set covers S-Style textures: sculpted intermediate positions, snappy cleans, and a beefier bridge pickup to cut through the mix. The 5-position selector, volume, and tone controls offer a wide range of tonal shaping. The stainless steel frets add precision and durability, and the modern tremolo, stabilized by locking tuners, allows vibratos and subtle nuances without fear of going out of tune.
Sets of electric strings 9?42 or 10?46 (tremolo-friendly), strap with secure locks, quality jack cable, and an electric guitar capo with adjustable tension to respect the compound radius.
Scale length: distance from nut to bridge influencing string tension and attack.
Radius: curvature of the fingerboard; here "compound" to combine comfortable chords and clean bends.
Nut: piece at the headstock guiding the strings (Graphtech for stability and smoothness).
Bridge/Tremolo: string anchor allowing vibrato effect.
Stainless steel frets: very low wear, improved playing precision and sustain.
