Description

The Sire USA Larry Carlton Signature H7 is a semi-hollowbody electric guitar that embodies the iconic style and tone of legendary guitarist Larry Carlton. Crafted to his exacting specifications, this guitar delivers a blend of vintage aesthetics and modern playability. Its flame maple top not only looks stunning but also contributes to its rich, resonant tone. The semi-hollow, double-cut maple body is paired with a set-in mahogany neck, offering comfort and sustain that jazz, blues, and classic rock enthusiasts will appreciate.

The H7’s C-shaped neck profile and ebony fretboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets ensure smooth transitions and easy playability, whether you're executing intricate jazz chords or soulful blues bends. Equipped with dual Alnico II humbuckers, this guitar offers a wide tonal palette, from warm, smoky lows to clear, articulate highs. The three-way toggle switch and individual volume and tone controls allow for precise sound shaping, making it versatile enough for any musical journey.

Aesthetically, the Larry Carlton H7 features a 3-ply pickguard, ivory binding, and square fingerboard inlays, capturing a classic '50s vibe while maintaining a contemporary edge. The bone nut and TOM-style bridge with an aluminum stop tailpiece enhance sustain and tuning stability, ensuring that every note rings true.
