Product Description
Capturing the essence of classic design and sonic versatility, the Sire Larry Carlton J5 is a higher-tier version of the J3 that comes stacked with LC Vintage Jazzmaster pickups, a Göldo/Sire ‘Vintage’ JM-type bridge and DG tremolo, and Sire Premium Locking Tuners. The guitar’s satisfyingly thick tones, sleek traditional archtop jazz body and range of enticing colourways make the J5 hard to overlook.
Key features
- Comfort and elegance - Sire’s Edgeless™ fretboard design features rolled, smoothened edges for a superior feel and playing experience.
- Jazzmaster tones - Two new LC Vintage Jazzmaster pickups provide a thick sound, while a high-quality JM-type bridge and DG tremolo is on hand for vibrato.
- Premium components - Finished with chrome hardware and premium locking tuners, the J5 is a classy instrument to play… or just look at!
Traditional Jazzmaster pickups
Although Jazzmaster-style pickups are often associated with surf music, they produce a far-spanning range of tones for blues and rock music as well. The larger surface area of Jazzmaster pickups produces a nice, thick sound that sits somewhere between the bell-like chime of a single-coil stratocaster and the midrange and bass that resonates from a Les Paul humbucker. The result here is an instrument that lends itself to a myriad of genres.
A premium finish from top to bottom
The Larry Carlton J5 is a stunning guitar to behold. The sleek body - made out of North American Alder - is joined by a four-bolt steel plate to the Hard Maple neck, which is topped with a beautiful Ebony fretboard. The chrome finish on the hardware really pops against all of the colourways and the white knobs and pickup covers provide an additional touch of class.
Comfortable and easy to play
Thanks to Sire’s Edgeless™ neck design, the rolled, smoothened edges enable your hand to glide effortlessly up and down the fretboard with assured precision. The C-shaped neck profile with an easy playing 9.5” radius is also immensely comfortable to clasp and great for playing chords.
Quality components
Installed in the Larry Calron J5 electric guitars is a high-quality Göldo/Sire ‘Vintage’ JM-type floating bridge and DG Tremolo, which is perfect for strong bends or smooth vibrato. The premium locking tuners do a great job of keeping the guitar in tune, regardless of how adventurous you get with the whammy.
