Description

The Sire L5 in Tobacco Sunburst brings classic single-cut style and feel into a seriously accessible price point. With its set-neck mahogany construction, carved maple top and a pair of versatile humbuckers with coil-split, it is built for players who want a traditional L-style guitar that can cover everything from smooth blues and jazz to punchy rock and pop.

Balancing vintage-inspired specs with modern playability, the L5 features Sire’s comfortable C-shape neck, Edgeless™ rolled rosewood fingerboard and a familiar 24.75-inch scale that feels instantly at home. Add in a rock-solid Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop tailpiece, and you have a dependable workhorse that looks, feels and sounds far more expensive than it is.

Classic L-Style Construction

At the heart of the L5 is a traditional recipe of a mahogany body with a hard maple top and flame veneer. This combination delivers a warm, full-bodied core tone with plenty of sustain, while the maple adds clarity and snap so your chords stay articulate and your leads cut through the mix. The Tobacco Sunburst finish and single top binding complete the timeless look.

Comfortable Set Neck and Edgeless™ Fingerboard

The mahogany neck is joined to the body with a set-in construction, enhancing sustain and giving a smooth transition to the upper frets. Sire’s C-shape profile feels familiar and easy to play whether you are chording or soloing. The rosewood Edgeless™ fingerboard features rolled fretboard edges, removing any sharpness and making the neck feel broken-in from day one, ideal for long sessions on stage or in the studio.

Versatile LC Standard-2 Humbuckers with Coil Split

A pair of LC Standard-2 humbuckers provide a wide tonal palette, from thick, singing lead tones to tight, punchy rhythm sounds. With individual volume and tone controls plus a 3-way toggle, you can dial in everything from smooth neck pickup warmth to biting bridge pickup attack. Pull-push coil-split on the tone controls unlocks brighter, single-coil style textures, giving you extra sparkle for cleans and added versatility without changing guitars.

Reliable Hardware and Classic Appointments

The Sire Modern Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminium stop tailpiece offer stable tuning and efficient string-to-body transfer, helping the guitar ring out clearly. Sire standard tuners keep things precise and easy to adjust, while the ivory pickguard, gold speed knobs and white pearloid crown inlays add a touch of vintage-inspired class that suits the Tobacco Sunburst finish perfectly.
