The Story
The Sire S7 FM 'Trans Blue Flame Top' Larry Carlton Signature Electric Guitar is a standout S-style solidbody that seamlessly blends modern playability with vintage-inspired tone. Built with an alder body topped with a visually striking flamed maple veneer, this guitar not only looks the part but delivers dynamic, balanced resonance even before plugging in. Designed in collaboration with the legendary Larry Carlton, the S7 FM features a roasted hard maple neck and fingerboard, rolled fretboard edges, and a modern tremolo bridge—all engineered for smooth, articulate performance and playing comfort.
Under the hood, the S7 FM packs a versatile trio of Sire Super-ST pickups: single-coils in the neck and middle positions for crisp, sparkling cleans, and a coil-splittable humbucker in the bridge for added punch and grit. Whether you're dialing in creamy leads, tight funk rhythms, or overdriven classic rock tones, this pickup configuration handles it all with clarity and warmth. Combine this with locking tuners, a bone nut, and premium hardware, and you get a professional-grade instrument ready for any stage or studio.
