Description

The Sire Larry Carlton L3 P90 electric guitar is a classy 50s-style single-cut electric guitar that comes loaded with a single P90 pickup. It is designed for easy playability and comes with many features usually found in much more expensive guitars. With a lightweight body and a neck shape that is tailored for comfort, the L3 P90 is ideal for players who want to get adventurous with their sound.

Key features

  • Comfort and elegance – Sire’s Edgeless™ fretboard design features rolled, smoothened edges for a superior feel and playing experience.
  • The versatility of the P90 – P90 pickups deliver a warmer, thicker sound that lends itself to a myriad of different musical genres.
  • Wraparound bridge setup – The sustain and resonance of the L3 P90 electric guitar is significantly boosted by the inclusion of a wraparound tailpiece.

Powered by a soapbar

The Sire Larry Carlton L3 P90, as the name suggests, comes loaded with a single P90 ‘soapbar’ pickup at the bridge, which is so-called on account of its thick, rounded rectangular dimensions. These pickups are known to produce a thicker, edgier sound that is perfect for playing alternative, punk, country and blues genres.

Improved sustain and resonance

Like the Larry Carlton L3 range of electric guitars, the L3 P90 range features a wraparound bridge – a tailpiece unit that allows strings to go over the curved side of the bridge all the way to the tuners. This type of bridge helps to boost the sustain and resonance, which aids the creation of solid tones.

Comfortable and easy to play

Thanks to Sire’s Edgeless fingerboard design, the rolled, smoothened edges enable your hand to glide effortlessly up and down the beautiful Rosewood fretboard with assured precision. The set-in, C-shaped Mahogany neck feels majestic and is topped off with accurate, stable and reliable chrome tuners.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

P90

P90 pickups are a type of single-coil pickup known for their thick, punchy sound that sits between traditional single-coils and humbuckers. They deliver strong midrange presence with more output and grit than a typical single-coil, while retaining clarity and touch sensitivity.

Tonally, P90s are raw, dynamic, and expressive, offering bright highs, muscular mids, and a slightly gritty edge when pushed. They are widely used in blues, rock, punk, and indie styles, and are valued for their ability to sound articulate when clean and aggressive when driven.

Sunburst

Sunburst refers to a classic guitar finish that fades from a darker edge to a lighter centre, showcasing the natural beauty of the wood beneath. It’s one of the most recognisable and timeless looks in guitar design, adding depth, warmth, and vintage character to any instrument. Available in styles like two-tone, three-tone, and cherry sunburst, each variation brings its own personality and flair. Whether on an acoustic or electric guitar, a sunburst finish captures that perfect blend of tradition and style, making every instrument look as good as it sounds.
