Sire S3 SSS 'Dakota Red' Larry Carlton Signature Electric Guitar

The Sire S3 SSS 'Dakota Red' Larry Carlton Signature Electric Guitar is a fresh take on the timeless three-single-coil design, enhanced with features that meet the standards of session legend Larry Carlton. Its mahogany body offers a warmer, rounder tone than traditional alder or ash, perfectly complementing the crisp response of its trio of Sire Standard-ST single-coils. With a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, medium-jumbo frets, and a 9.5" radius, the S3 SSS feels fast, comfortable, and stage-ready in any musical setting.

The pickups are voiced for balance and clarity, giving you shimmering highs, defined mids, and a punchy low end with that classic “quack” in positions 2 and 4. Whether you're after chiming clean tones, gritty blues leads, or smooth jazz phrasing, this guitar delivers. The rolled fingerboard edges and “C”-shaped neck profile ensure exceptional comfort, while the Sire 2-post tremolo and stable tuners make it a reliable performer for live or studio use.
