Sire S3 'Shell Pink' Larry Carlton Signature Electric Guitar

The Sire S3 'Shell Pink' brings vintage-inspired style and genuinely versatile modern performance together in one instrument, designed in collaboration with legendary session guitarist Larry Carlton. Its warm-sounding mahogany body is rare among S-style guitars, giving this S3 a unique tonal signature finished in a gloss polyurethane 'Shell Pink'.

An HSS pickup layout pairs Sire Standard-ST single-coils in the neck and middle with a humbucker at the bridge for a genuinely flexible range of tones, from sparkling cleans to gritty leads. A hard maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard, rolled edges, medium-jumbo frets and a 9.5" radius keeps playing smooth, and with a 2-post Sire Standard tremolo and stable tuners, it's ideal for gigging, recording or playing at home.
