S-style solidbody enthusiasts are sure to be captivated by the Sire Larry Carlton S7 FM electric guitar. Created in collaboration with the legendary Grammy-winning guitarist, the S7 FM offers the classic playability, tone, and stage presence of renowned S-style instruments at an impressive price point. Featuring a lightweight alder body with a striking flamed maple veneer, this guitar provides exceptional comfort and a rich tone, even when unplugged. Amplified, it showcases a versatile Sire Super-ST pickup configuration, and the roasted hard maple neck and fingerboard ensure smooth playability. The Sire Modern tremolo bridge enhances sustain and tuning stability.

Equipped with two Sire Super-ST single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions, and a coil-splittable humbucker in the bridge position, the S7 FM delivers a broad range of tones from snappy and spanky to sweet and singing. This setup is ideal for various styles, including funk, jazz, and hard rock. The pickups can be driven hard for high-octane tones or played softly for pristine clean sounds, making this guitar a great choice for both stage and studio work. Fans of 1970s and ’80s Los Angeles studio tones will find a nostalgic sound in this model.

The roasted hard maple neck and fingerboard of the S7 FM enhance resonance and playability. The neck's rolled edges and medium-jumbo frets provide a comfortable playing experience, suitable for chording and lead runs. Guitarists who have tried the S7 FM appreciate its classic feel and responsive neck.
