Sire L5 Electric Guitar in Amber Burst

The Sire L5 Electric Guitar in Amber Burst brings classic single cut inspiration into the modern Sire line, with a set-neck construction and carefully chosen tonewoods aimed at players who want a traditional feel without a premium price tag. With its mahogany body, hard maple top and flame veneer, it delivers a familiar, full-bodied voice and a stage-ready look that will appeal to blues, rock and classic rock players alike.

Designed as the most fundamentals-focused model in the L Series, the L5 concentrates on the essentials that matter most to working guitarists: comfortable playability, reliable hardware and versatile electronics. The 24.75-inch scale, C-shape mahogany neck and Edgeless rolled rosewood fingerboard make it immediately inviting under the fingers, while the dual LC Standard-2 humbuckers with coil-split options cover everything from thick, singing leads to crisp, articulate cleans.

Finished in a striking Amber Burst with single binding on the top and an ivory pickguard, the L5 looks every bit as classic as it sounds. Chrome hardware, gold speed knobs and white pearloid crown inlays complete the vintage-inspired aesthetic, making it a great choice for players who want a timeless look with modern refinements.

Classic L-Style Construction

The L5 uses Sire’s L body shape with a mahogany back and a hard maple top capped with a flame veneer. This tried-and-tested combination gives you a rich, warm low end with plenty of sustain from the mahogany, while the maple adds clarity and snap so your chords and leads cut through the mix. The single-bound top and Amber Burst finish provide a traditional look that will feel instantly familiar on stage or in the studio.

Comfortable Set-Neck Playability

A mahogany C-shape neck with a 24.75-inch scale length delivers a classic feel that suits everything from chunky rhythm work to expressive bends. The set-in neck joint enhances sustain and resonance, helping notes ring out longer and more evenly across the fretboard. Medium jumbo frets give you a solid, confident feel under the fingers, making fast runs, wide vibrato and precise intonation easier to achieve.

Edgeless Rosewood Fingerboard

Sire’s Edgeless rolled fretboard edges on the rosewood fingerboard make the L5 exceptionally smooth and comfortable to play. The softened edges reduce any sense of sharpness along the sides of the neck, which is especially noticeable during long sessions and when moving quickly up and down the neck. Combined with the 12-inch radius and bone nut, you get a playing surface that feels fast, refined and easy on the hands.

Versatile LC Standard-2 Electronics

The LC Standard-2 humbucker set provides a powerful yet articulate voice suitable for a wide range of genres. With a 3-way toggle, individual volume and tone controls and push/pull coil-split functions on the tone knobs, you can quickly move from thick, high-output humbucker tones to brighter, single-coil-style sounds. This flexibility means the L5 can handle everything from crunchy rock riffs and smooth jazz lines to sparkling cleans and rhythm work without needing to change guitars.

• Mahogany Body with Hard Maple Top - The combination of a mahogany body and hard maple top delivers a warm, resonant core tone with added brightness and definition. This balance helps your sound stay full and powerful while still cutting through a band mix.
• Set-In Mahogany Neck with Edgeless Rosewood Fingerboard - The set-in neck construction enhances sustain and overall resonance, while the C-shape profile and rolled Edgeless fingerboard edges provide a smooth, comfortable feel that encourages longer playing sessions.
• LC Standard-2 Humbuckers with Coil Split - Dual humbuckers offer punchy, noise-resistant tones for rock and blues, and the push/pull coil-split function opens up brighter, more single-coil-like sounds. This gives you a wide palette of tones from one instrument.
• Modern Tune-O-Matic Bridge and Aluminium Stop Tail Piece - The Sire Modern Tune-O-Matic bridge paired with an aluminium stop tail piece provides stable tuning and efficient string-to-body transfer. This setup helps maximise sustain and keeps your intonation accurate across the fretboard.
