This "New Gen" version of the Larry Carlton T-Style guitar carries the Sire DNA further: a torrefied neck that is more stable against temperature changes, stainless steel frets for remarkable longevity, and locking tuners for worry-free sessions. The whole design aims for a reliable instrument built to last on stage and in the studio, while maintaining the sleek and premium aesthetic of the FM range (flamed maple top).
Ideal for intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a modern and expressive T-Style. Its clear and lively character shines in pop and funk, its rich tone convinces in rock, and its singing register serves blues and fusion wonderfully. The rosewood fingerboard smooths the highs, useful for silky rhythms as well as precise leads.
The combination of alder body + flamed maple top delivers tight lows, focused mids, and defined highs. The set of LC pickups (zebra), controlled by a 5-position selector, offers a range of textures: precise twang in clean sounds, deeper intermediate positions for scooped tones, and dense crunch at the bridge. Stainless steel frets add attack and firm sustain, while the modern 2-insert tremolo remains stable, supported by locking tuners for controlled vibratos.
Choose 10-46 electric guitar strings (or 9-42 if you prefer lighter tension), a quality standard strap with reinforced ends, a capo with adjustable tension suitable for compound radii, and a 6.35 mm instrument jack cable, straight or angled, to preserve the connection.
