Trio of pickups for a spectrum of sonic colorings
Two Sire Super-ST single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions are paired with a bridge humbucker to deliver an impressive array of sonic colorings, from snappy and spanky to snarly, sweet, and singing. An ideal trio for everything from funk to jazz to hard rock, these pickups can be driven hard without cracking up, or played at low volume for a really pristine clean tone, making this instrument perfect for both the stage and the studio. And if you're a fan of '70s and '80s L.A. session-era guitar tone — arguably Mr. Carlton's most prodigious studio years — you will hear that nostalgic sonic presentation instantly!
Roasted neck and fingerboard
Most players agree that a roasted neck makes quite a difference, removing tiny impurities in the wood that can have a subtle effect on its overall resonance. The roasted hard maple neck and fingerboard on this beauty are a testament to the results of this process. And with rolled fingerboard edges and medium-jumbo frets, you're assured of a supreme level of playability and response that makes for hours of comfortable chording and effortless lead runs. The many guitarists here at Sweetwater who have test driven the S7 are blown away by the neck's classic feel and response.
