This S7 New Gen extends the Sire S-Style spirit by adding refinements designed for today?s guitarist. Its North American alder body, meticulous craftsmanship, and new ?Larry Carlton? electronics create a balanced and reliable sonic foundation. The optimized hardware (locking tuners, modern tremolo) ensures a more stable, durable guitar ready to face rehearsals, recordings, and tours.
Suitable for ambitious beginners as well as seasoned musicians, the S7 New Gen excels in pop, funk, blues, rock, and fusion. Its familiar ergonomics, comfortable neck profile, and dynamic pickup response make it a versatile tool for home practice, grooving in rehearsals, capturing clean takes in a home studio, and playing live with confidence.
The combination of Sire Larry Carlton pickups in an H?S?S format offers a wide spectrum: the bridge humbucker delivers a dense, singing tone for riffs and solos, while the neck and middle single coils provide clarity, attack, and that famous ?snap? in the intermediate positions of the 5-way selector. Alder offers a natural balance with musical mids, while the maple neck/fretboard combo adds definition and quick response. Stainless steel frets enhance precision, sustain, and consistency over time. Paired with locking tuners, the modern tremolo allows expressive vibratos while maintaining tuning stability.
Electric guitar string sets in gauges 9?42 or 10?46, depending on your attack and range, and a standard strap with classic attachments for secure support.
