Larry Carlton S7 3TS

An amazing guitar for the price

I have an American Fender Stratocaster worth almost 3 times more than this guitar but they are almost equal. The guitar came perfectly in tune, excellently set up and intonated.

The quality is remarkable. If you're struggling to choose your first serious guitar or even your first ever electric guitar this is the right choice. If this guitar was from any other brand, the price would be so much higher. Great job Sire !

Awesome guitar

My most beloved guitar so far.

Well done sunburst finish, no cracks, scuffs, cavities, noticeable filler etc. Pearloid pickguard looks just right.

Neck pocket is done extremely precise and all sides are very well fit.

Exceptional craft quality on the neck. Frets are all even, nicely rounded and well polished. Satin neck finish and laquer fretboard all together feels very smooth and high end.

Tuners perform very good, tuning is dead stable.

Guitar came in tuned and needed only slightest adjustments. Strings action and neck relief were up to my likings so I left them as is. Guitar was pretty much ready to play out of the box.

A great guitar with one major drawback!

The volume pot has a very, very odd taper on it; when you're using the humbucker on distorted sounds, there's very little difference in output between volume 1-2 and volume 9-10; the guitar won't clean up as you lower the volume pot.

I dare say you could sort this by fitting a different volume pot, but, it's a lot of effort to go to to fix something that shouldn't be there in the first instance.

Well-made guitar, with great features, but this one issue was enough for me to return the guitar.

Fabulous Instrument

What to say? This instrument cost only £500 but it's worth much more. The neck is so smooth and the frets are round. The fingerboard is so shiny and very comfortable for playing. I love the guitar. The sound is crystal. Briliand quality. Love it.
