AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
The Sire S3 'Shell Pink' Larry Carlton Signature Electric Guitar brings vintage-inspired style and versatile modern performance into one beautifully crafted instrument. Designed in collaboration with the legendary session guitarist Larry Carlton, the S3 offers a unique tonal signature thanks to its warm-sounding mahogany body—rare among S-style guitars. The HSS pickup configuration delivers a flexible range of tones, while the Sire Standard-ST single-coils and humbucker are voiced to suit everything from sparkling cleans to gritty lead tones.
A hard maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard ensures smooth playability, featuring rolled edges, a comfortable “C”-shaped profile, and medium-jumbo frets. The 9.5" fingerboard radius strikes a balance between vintage feel and modern flexibility. With a 2-post Sire Standard tremolo system and stable tuners, the S3 is equipped for expressive playing and rock-solid tuning. Whether you're gigging, recording, or jamming at home, the S3 is a reliable and stylish choice.

We endeavour to show the actual instrument in stock whenever possible, but the guitar in stock may differ slightly from the one shown on our website. Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.
If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.
