Sire Larry Carlton Electric Guitar L-Style Black, L5/BK

The Sire L5/BK is built for players who want classic single-cut authority with modern reliability. Its mahogany bodyprovides deep low-end response and strong midrange punch, ideal for rock, blues, and heavier styles. The Black finishgives it a clean, aggressive aesthetic that never goes out of style.

The mahogany set-in neck enhances sustain and structural stability, while the comfortable C-shaped profile supports both rhythm and lead work. The rosewood fingerboard with Edgeless™ rolled fretboard edges ensures smooth transitions across all positions. With 22 stainless steel medium jumbo frets (2.7mm), the instrument is designed for long-term durability and consistent feel.

The 24.75" scale length and 12" fingerboard radius allow effortless bends and natural warmth in tone. A 43mm bone nut contributes to improved sustain and tuning stability.

Equipped with the LC Standard-2 Humbucker Pickup Set (H-H configuration), the L5/BK delivers thick rhythm tones and articulate lead response. The push/pull coil-split function expands tonal flexibility, offering brighter, more cutting single-coil-style sounds when required. A 3-way toggle switch with independent Volume and Tone controls provides precise sound shaping.

Hardware includes a Sire Modern Tune-O-Matic bridge with aluminium stop tailpiece, chrome hardware finish, gold speed knobs, standard tuners, and an ivory pickguard—combining traditional construction with practical modern upgrades.

The L5/BK is designed for players who demand classic tone, solid build quality, and expanded tonal options without compromise.
