Searching for a T-style solidbody electric guitar with higher-output pickups and a modern feel? If so, check out the Sire Larry Carlton T7TM. This stellar instrument boasts a swamp ash-topped mahogany body, yielding a warm, resonant acoustic sound that's well served by its LC Vintage P-90 soapbar pickups. Seriously, plug the T7TM into anything with a bit of dirt, and its red-hot, syrupy-thick tones are guaranteed to elicit all sorts of good feels. The T7TM's "C"-shaped hard maple neck is a pleasure to wrap your hand around, and its 22-fret, 9.5-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard with rolled edges assures you a playability that's downright effortless. This superb guitar includes a bone nut, a 3-saddle half bridge, premium locking tuning machines, pearloid-and-abalone fingerboard inlays, and an eye-catching pickguard. Whether you play pop, jazz, or simply want to rock out, the Sire T7TM is willing to oblige.

Resonant T-style body





Carved from a solid slab of mahogany and topped with a solid piece of swamp ash, the T7TM delivers a warm, resonant acoustic sound with a sizable helping of midrange pop. Sweetwater guitarists love how balanced this axe feels when you strap it on; when it comes to long-term playing comfort, this T-style rocker checks all the right boxes.





Roaring LC Vintage P-90 pickups





The Sire T7TM is ready for action with a pair of LC Vintage P-90 soapbars. While these are single-coil pickups, they're far from the chimey, glassy sound you'd get from S-style single-coils. Plug into your favorite amplifier, and you'll agree that the T7TM's P-90s are raw and rude, churning out scorching-hot, thick-as-molasses tones by the truckload. This electric guitar includes a 3-way pickup switch along with global volume and tone controls.





Comfortable playability





From the first note, you'll find that the T7TM was built to be played. Its "C"-shaped hard maple neck plays like a dream, and its 22-fret, 9.5-inch-radius fingerboard, which includes smooth rolled edges, facilitates fleet-fingered fretboard maneuvers like nothing else. The T7TM also comes equipped with a bone nut and premium locking tuners.
