Description
The Sire S7 New Gen in Dark Forest takes the much-loved S7 platform and refines it into a modern player’s workhorse. With upgraded electronics, stainless steel frets, a fast compound-radius neck and premium hardware, it is designed to deliver reliable performance, slick playability and wide-ranging tones for stage, studio and home.
Centred around a classic S-style alder body and comfortable C-shape neck, the S7 New Gen feels instantly familiar yet distinctly contemporary. The newly tuned Sire Larry Carlton Super-ST pickup set provides refined tonal versatility, while the Edgeless rolled fretboard edges and locking hardware make every bend, vibrato and tremolo flourish feel controlled and effortless.
Whether you are chasing glassy cleans, punchy rhythm sounds or expressive lead tones, the S7 New Gen is built to respond. Stainless steel frets and a compound radius board keep your setup feeling slick and consistent over time, while thoughtful neck and hardware upgrades help you play with confidence night after night.
Refined S-Style Platform
With its North American alder body and Sire S-style shape, the S7 New Gen delivers the familiar balance, comfort and resonance players expect from a classic double-cut. Alder keeps the tone clear and articulate, with enough warmth to sit comfortably in a mix, making this guitar a versatile choice for a wide range of genres.
Newly Tuned Sire Larry Carlton Pickups
The Sire LC Super-ST pickup set has been revoiced to offer even more usable tones across the five-way switch. From bright, percussive single-coil snap to fuller, more rounded sounds in the in-between positions, the S7 New Gen covers everything from funk and pop to blues and rock with ease, all while retaining clarity and definition.
Modern Neck Feel with Edgeless Fretboard
A comfortable C-shape neck, compound 9.5 to 14 inch radius and Edgeless rolled fretboard edges combine to create a fast, inviting playing surface. Chords feel relaxed and natural in the lower positions, while bends and vibrato stay smooth and choke-free higher up the neck, encouraging expressive playing across the entire fingerboard.
Stainless Frets and Premium Hardware
Medium jumbo stainless steel frets offer a slick feel and excellent durability, helping your S7 New Gen maintain a consistent playing response over time. Paired with a Sire modern two-post tremolo bridge and Sire premium locking tuners, the guitar is engineered for stable tuning and confident use of the vibrato system.
