Sire Larry Carlton Electric Guitar L-Style Candy Apple Red, L5/CAR

The Sire L5/CAR combines traditional single-cut construction with modern performance upgrades. Its Mahogany bodyprovides thick low-end response and strong midrange presence, delivering the sustain and punch expected from an L-style platform. The Candy Apple Red finish adds a bold, stage-ready aesthetic that stands out under lights.

The Mahogany set-in neck enhances resonance and sustain while offering a stable, comfortable C-shaped profile. Paired with a Rosewood fingerboard featuring Edgeless™ rolled fretboard edges, the instrument feels smooth and refined across all 22 stainless steel medium jumbo frets (2.7mm), built for long-term durability.

With a 24.75" scale length and 12" fingerboard radius, the L5/CAR delivers effortless bends and a naturally warm tonal character. The 43mm bone nut supports stable tuning and improved sustain.

The LC Standard-2 Humbucker Pickup Set (H-H configuration) provides thick rhythm tones and articulate lead response. The push/pull coil-split function expands tonal versatility, allowing access to brighter, single-coil-style sounds when required. A 3-way toggle switch, along with independent Volume and Tone controls, ensures 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—delivering classic style with modern reliability.

The L5/CAR represents Sire’s approach to building premium-feeling instruments with performance-driven specifications and serious value.
