Sir Larry Carlton H7 transparent red (used)
This content will be shared across all product pages.
The pinnacle of 335 style, endorsed by a legend.
Looking for the warm tone, endless sustain, and elegance of a semi-hollow guitar without having to take out a mortgage? Look no further. The Sire Larry Carlton H7 isn't just an imitation; it's the result of a close collaboration with "Mr. 335" himself, Larry Carlton.
Why choose the H7?
Un confort de jeu "Boutique" : La signature de Sire, ce sont les bords de touche arrondis (Rolled Fretboard Edges). Dès la sortie de la boîte, le manche en ébène semble avoir été joué pendant 20 ans. C'est doux, rapide et incroyablement confortable.
Le Son Carlton : Équipée du set de micros Larry Carlton Vintage Humbucker, cette guitare délivre ce grain crémeux typique, parfait pour le jazz, le blues, mais assez mordant pour le rock classique.
Lutherie d'exception : Une table en érable flammé (Flame Maple) sublime, un bloc central pour réduire le feedback et une résonance acoustique qui se ressent contre le corps.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does the Sire H7 come with a case?
No, the guitar comes in a standard secure box. However, we highly recommend purchasing a high-quality hard case or gig bag from our shop to protect this semi-hollow body shape.
2. What is the profile of the handle? Is it thick?
The neck has a standard "C" profile. It's neither too thin (like an Ibanez) nor too thick (like a Gibson '58). It's designed to be universally comfortable for most guitarists.
3. Is the Sire H7 good for Rock or only Jazz?
Although it excels in Jazz and Blues (the style of Larry Carlton), its center block allows for playing with distortion while limiting feedback. It is excellent for Rock, Pop, and Worship music.
4. What is the difference between the H7 and a Gibson ES-335?
The main difference lies in the price and the finish (polyurethane for Sire vs. nitrocellulose for Gibson). However, many of our customers find the Sire's neck comfort (rounded edges) superior to models costing three times as much.
5. Where are Sire guitars manufactured?
Sire guitars are manufactured in their own factories in Indonesia, which allows them a quality control far superior to the usual subcontracting of other brands.
