Resulting from the Sire x Larry Carlton collaboration, the S7 New Gen reinterprets the S-Style platform with a decidedly contemporary approach. It stands as a cornerstone of the Sire range: meticulous finishes, robust components (stainless steel frets, locking tuners), and HSS electronics designed to transition from crisp cleans to thick overdrives without changing instruments.
Ideal for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an HSS electric guitar capable of covering pop, funk, blues, fusion, and energetic rock. The bridge humbucker provides grain and natural compression for riffs and solos, while the single coils offer snappy intermediate positions, perfect for precise rhythm playing and bright arpeggios.
The alder body delivers a balanced spectrum, with present mids and a responsive attack. The maple neck and fingerboard enhance definition, brightness, and harmonics, ideal for clean rhythm parts and leads that cut through the mix. The SIRE LC HSS pickup set combines a meaty bridge humbucker for sustain and saturation with two open, precise single coils. The 5-position selector sweeps from crystalline clean to articulate crunch, controlled by effective volume and tone knobs, offering immediate versatility both in the studio and on stage.
Nickel strings 10-46 for balanced tension and attack, Strat-style gig bag or case (S-Style body), sturdy leather or nylon strap, adjustable capo suitable for 9.5" to 14" radii, quality 6.35 mm instrument cable, and stable non-slip guitar stand.
