Sire Larry Carlton New Gen L7 Left Handed Electric Guitar in Black

The Sire Larry Carlton New Gen L7 Left Handed in Black is a modern take on the classic single cut formula, tailored specifically for left handed players. Built with a mahogany body and maple top, a set of newly tuned LC Vintage 2 humbuckers and premium hardware, it delivers a powerful, versatile voice that feels every bit as refined as it sounds. With stainless steel frets, an Ebony Edgeless fingerboard and locking tuners, this is a gig ready workhorse designed to play beautifully for years.

Co developed with jazz fusion legend Larry Carlton, the New Gen L7 takes the original L7 platform and upgrades it for even more performance. Enhanced electronics, improved playability features and a sleek black finish with gold hardware make this a standout single cut that is equally at home on stage, in the studio or in the practice room.

Refined Single Cut Tone

At the heart of the L7 New Gen is a classic mahogany body with a hard maple top, giving you the familiar blend of warmth, sustain and bite that single cut fans love. The newly voiced Sire Larry Carlton LC Vintage 2 humbuckers are tuned for refined tonal versatility, moving effortlessly from smooth jazz and blues to punchy rock rhythm and articulate lead work. Coil split options open up brighter, more percussive sounds, making this a genuinely flexible instrument for players who cover a lot of ground.

Left Handed Comfort and Playability

Designed from the ground up for left handed players, the L7 New Gen offers a comfortable C shape mahogany neck and a 24.75 inch scale that feels instantly familiar under the fingers. The Ebony Edgeless fingerboard with rolled fretboard edges gives a broken in, played in feel straight out of the box, reducing hand fatigue and making position shifts smoother. A 12 inch radius and medium jumbo stainless steel frets strike a great balance between easy bending and solid chord work.

Durable, Stage Ready Construction

Stainless steel frets are a major upgrade on a guitar at this price point, offering exceptional durability and a consistently smooth feel over time. Paired with a Graphtech Tusq XL nut and premium locking tuners, the L7 New Gen is built to handle regular playing and tuning changes with minimal fuss. The Sire Modern Tune O Matic bridge and aluminium stop tailpiece provide a stable platform with excellent intonation and sustain, ideal for serious practice and performance schedules.

Classic Aesthetics with Modern Details

The L7 New Gen keeps the timeless single cut look while adding tasteful modern touches. The black finish is complemented by gold hardware, an ivory pickguard and white pearloid crown inlays, giving the guitar a classy, stage ready appearance. Gold speed knobs and neat control layout keep everything intuitive and within easy reach, so you can focus on your playing rather than fighting your instrument.
