Primed for maximum performance
Sire enhanced the Larry Carlton S7 FM New Gen with performance-focused upgrades you'll notice right from the moment you pick it up. To start, the rosewood fingerboard is adorned with extra-slick and highly durable medium-jumbo stainless steel frets, adding to the hand-cradling feeling of Sire's rolled and smoothened Edgeless neck edge treatment. To help you stay in tune, the S7 New Gen comes equipped with premium locking tuners, which also prevent string slippage. A Graph Tech TUSQ XL self-lubricating nut eliminates string binding issues and improves the overall resonance of your guitar, giving you superior tone and playability. Finally, the side of the neck now features Luminlay dots to light up your neck in dark environments, so you never lose your place when performing.
