Sire S3 'Shell Pink' Larry Carlton Signature Electric Guitar

The Sire S3 'Shell Pink' Larry Carlton Signature Electric Guitar brings vintage-inspired style and versatile modern performance into one beautifully crafted instrument. Designed in collaboration with the legendary session guitarist Larry Carlton, the S3 offers a unique tonal signature thanks to its warm-sounding mahogany body—rare among S-style guitars. The HSS pickup configuration delivers a flexible range of tones, while the Sire Standard-ST single-coils and humbucker are voiced to suit everything from sparkling cleans to gritty lead tones.

A hard maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard ensures smooth playability, featuring rolled edges, a comfortable “C”-shaped profile, and medium-jumbo frets. The 9.5" fingerboard radius strikes a balance between vintage feel and modern flexibility. With a 2-post Sire Standard tremolo system and stable tuners, the S3 is equipped for expressive playing and rock-solid tuning. Whether you're gigging, recording, or jamming at home, the S3 is a reliable and stylish choice.
