Description

Sire’s G5A blends the perfect balance of acoustic guitar tone alongside electric guitar performance and resistance to feedback at stage volume. It pairs a luxurious build quality with an incredible sound that can be tailored to suit any performance. Featuring a chambered body, acoustic strings and a Piezo pickup processed through the new Sire ‘Vivid’ preamp, it provides that distinctive acoustic sound while absolutely owning the stage .

Key features

  • Unrivalled comfort – Sire’s Edgeless™ fretboard design features rolled, smoothened edges for a superior feel and playing experience.
  • Hybrid body – A beautiful chambered Mahogany body is topped with solid Spruce to produce a brighter, sharper sound.
  • Vividx-A Preamp -More typically found in acoustic guitars, the preamp consists of a Piezo pickup under the saddle and easy-to-access volume, mix and phase controls.

Contoured for comfort

Thanks to the combination of a single cutaway Mahogany body and a meticulously rolled and smoothened C-Shape Rosewood neck, your hand can effortlessly transition from the low to high frets with silky-smooth consistency. The hard-wearing Spruce top, finished in Natural Satin, is known to produce a sweeter sound and looks incredible.

Vintage style tuners

Designed to combat unnecessary tuning slips, the open-gear tuners adorning the headstock of the Larry Carlton G5A are the type usually found in vintage guitars. And as well as providing the classic look, these tuners load less weight onto the pegheads, allowing more vibration in the neck .

Tailor your tone

With the Larry Carlton G5A you aren’t locked in to one particular sound. The Vividx-A preamp consists of a Piezo pickup situated under the saddle and a 3-band EQ (for Treble, Middle and Bass) with a phase switch to allow players to adjust the sound to suit any vibe. .
