Born from Sire?s vision alongside Larry Carlton, the T3 New Gen modernizes the T-Style platform without betraying its spirit. The "Tide Pool" finish highlights its lines, while the rational luthiery and simple, effective electronics deliver a stage-ready guitar that is robust and consistent within the Sire range.
Ideal for progressing guitarists as well as experienced musicians looking for a reliable T-Style. Its "C" profile neck, 9.5" radius, and Medium Jumbo frets facilitate modern playing (clean bends, sustained chords). Versatile, it excels in rock, blues, country, funk, and pop, from first bands to concert halls.
The pair of Sire Standard-T single-coil pickups delivers the twang, clarity, and touch response expected from a T-Style. The Indonesian mahogany body provides full mids and generous sustain, tempered by the snappy attack of the maple neck and the smoothness of the rosewood fingerboard. The three positions cover everything from the bridge?s sharpness to the neck?s warmth, with an ideal middle position for percussive rhythms and precise arpeggios. The 6-saddle bridge optimizes string-to-bridge contact for fine intonation and increased stability.
Nickel steel string sets 9-42 or 10-46 depending on desired gauge, curved capo for electric guitar, comfortable strap, and T-Style guitar gig bag/case. A stable stand is recommended for home and stage use.
