From the Larry Carlton series, the S7 New Gen modernizes the classic « S » models without betraying their spirit. It stands out in the Sire range as a benchmark for exemplary quality/reliability: precise craftsmanship, robust hardware, and rigorous electronics to confidently handle rehearsals, gigs, and studio sessions.
Designed for intermediate to advanced musicians, the S7 New Gen excels in funk, pop, soul, blues, and classic rock. Its forgiving playability and stable tuning (locking tuners, stainless steel frets) reassure touring pros while remaining accessible to serious beginners who want to progress on a reliable and inspiring instrument.
The alder body delivers balanced mids and precise attack; the bolt-on maple neck adds « snap » and responsiveness, while the rosewood fingerboard softens the highs for a silkier tone. The LC Super-ST, a set of three calibrated single coils, provide crystalline sounds, with scooped 2nd and 4th positions ideal for funk and a singing neck pickup perfect for blues. The streamlined electronics (5-way selector, 1 volume, 1 tone) facilitate quick adjustments, and the rigidity of the stainless steel frets supports sustain and intonation along the entire neck.
Nickel string set 10-46 suited for the 25.5" / 648 mm scale length, padded strap with secure attachment, adjustable tension capo for 9.5"-14" radius, quality 6.35 mm instrument cable, and stable guitar stand. An ST-Style case or gig bag will ensure optimal protection and support.
