Sire Larry Carlton S1 HSS New Gen 5way IV Strat Knob in Candy Apple Red

The Sire S1 in Tobacco Sunburst is a sleek, budget-friendly S-style electric guitar designed to make your first steps into playing feel easy, comfortable and inspiring. With a classic double-cutaway body, smooth Edgeless rolled fretboard and a versatile Sire Basic-ST pickup set, it gives beginners a familiar feel and a wide range of tones at a price that is easy on the wallet.

Built from solid Indonesian Mahogany with a C-shape Maple neck and Rosewood fingerboard, the S1 balances warm, full-bodied sound with a fast, comfortable playing experience. The 25.5 inch scale, medium jumbo frets and traditional 6-screw tremolo bridge make it ideal for learning everything from chords and riffs to expressive vibrato and lead lines.

Beginner Friendly S-Concept Design

The S1 has been created specifically with new players in mind, using Sire’s S-Concept design to deliver a familiar S-style shape that feels instantly approachable. The body contours help the guitar sit comfortably whether you are standing or sitting, so you can focus on playing rather than fighting the instrument.

Comfortable Edgeless Rosewood Fingerboard

Sire’s Rosewood Edgeless fingerboard features rolled fretboard edges that remove the sharp corners you often feel on entry-level guitars. This makes chords, slides and position shifts feel noticeably smoother under your fingers, helping you play for longer with less fatigue.

Versatile Sire Basic-ST Pickup Set

The Sire Basic-ST single coil pickup set is controlled by a 5-way lever switch, giving you a wide palette of classic S-style tones. From bright, cutting bridge sounds to warm neck tones and those iconic in-between positions, the S1 is ready for clean rhythm, crunchy rock and everything in between.

Reliable Hardware for Everyday Practice

A Sire Standard 6-screw tremolo bridge and Sire Basic diecasting tuners provide a solid, dependable platform for daily playing and practice. The chrome hardware and IV Strat-style knobs complete the classic look while giving you intuitive control over volume and tone.

Features
