Description
The Sire S7 New Gen in Black Swirl takes the classic S-style blueprint and brings it firmly into the modern era. With a fast, comfortable neck, stainless steel frets and a newly voiced Larry Carlton pickup set, it is built for players who want slick playability, rock-solid tuning and a wide palette of tones in one seriously eye-catching guitar.
Under the striking Black Swirl finish you will find a resonant North American alder body, a compound radius fingerboard with rolled edges, and premium hardware including a modern 2-post tremolo and locking tuners. Whether you are covering a full set on stage or tracking in the studio, the S7 New Gen is designed to stay in tune, feel effortless under the fingers and respond musically to every touch.
Modern S-style Performance
The S7 New Gen keeps the familiar S-style silhouette but upgrades it with thoughtful player-focused details. The North American alder body delivers a balanced, versatile acoustic tone that works for everything from glassy cleans to driven rock sounds, while the comfortable contouring and light weight make long rehearsals and gigs far less tiring.
Fast, Comfortable Neck
A C-shape hard maple neck with a 25.5 inch scale length feels instantly at home for most players, offering enough depth for support without getting in the way of fast runs and complex chords. The Edgeless rolled fretboard edges and compound 9.5 to 14 inch radius give you an easy, relaxed feel for rhythm work lower down the neck and a flatter surface for clean bends and vibrato higher up.
Refined Larry Carlton Electronics
The Sire LC Super ST pickup set has been newly tuned for the S7 New Gen, giving you a refined, musical response across all five switch positions. From bright, articulate single coil-style tones to fuller, more powerful sounds, the S7 can cover funk, blues, pop, rock and more with ease, all controlled simply via a 5-way lever switch, master volume and tone.
Road-ready Hardware
Premium hardware ensures the S7 New Gen performs reliably night after night. The Sire modern 2-post tremolo bridge offers smooth pitch modulation and solid return to pitch, while the Sire premium locking tuners make string changes quick and help keep tuning stable through bends and tremolo use. Stainless steel frets resist wear, so your setup and feel stay consistent for far longer.
