Sire J5 '3-Tone Sunburst' Larry Carlton Signature Electric Guitar

Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne

Dive into a world of surf rock and alt-rock adventures with the Sire J5, a guitar that blends classic offset design with modern performance. Featuring a JM-style alder body with an elegant 3-tone sunburst finish, the J5 delivers a resonant, balanced tone with rich highs and deep lows. The hard maple “C”-shaped neck and 22-fret ebony fingerboard with rolled edges offer a smooth, fast playing experience that feels great in any musical setting.

Loaded with Sire LC Vintage JM-style single-coil pickups, the J5 produces thick, syrupy tones that are perfect for everything from jangly rhythm parts to saturated lead work. A Göldo/Sire JM-style bridge with DG tremolo adds expressive vibrato capabilities, while premium locking tuners and a bone nut ensure rock-solid tuning stability. Whether you’re performing live or laying down tracks in the studio, the Sire J5 is a versatile instrument with standout tone and style.
