Product Description
The Sire S7 New Gen in Dark Forest takes the much-loved S7 platform and refines it into a modern player’s workhorse. With upgraded electronics, stainless steel frets, a fast compound-radius neck and premium hardware, it's designed to deliver reliable performance, slick playability and wide-ranging tones.
Centred around a classic S-style Alder body and comfortable C-shape neck, the S7 New Gen feels instantly familiar yet distinctly contemporary. The newly-tuned Sire LC Super SSS pickup set provides refined tonal versatility, while the Edgeless rolled fretboard edges and locking tuners make every bend, vibrato and tremolo flourish feel controlled and effortless.
Refined S-style platform
With its North American Alder body and Sire double-cut shape, the S7 New Gen delivers the balance, comfort and resonance players expect from a classic S-style guitar. Alder keeps the tone clear and articulate, with enough warmth to sit comfortably in a mix, making this guitar a versatile choice for a wide range of genres.
Sire Larry Carlton pickups
The Sire LC Super SSS pickup set has been revoiced to offer even more usable tones across the five-way switch. From bright, percussive single-coil snap to fuller, more rounded sounds in the in-between positions, the S7 New Gen covers everything from funk and pop to blues and rock with ease, all while retaining clarity and definition.
Modern neck feel with Edgeless fingerboard
A comfortable C-shape neck, compound 9.5 to 14 inch radius and Edgeless rolled fingerboard edges combine to create a fast, inviting playing surface. Chords feel relaxed and natural in the lower positions, while bends and vibrato stay smooth and choke-free higher up the neck, encouraging expressive playing across the entire fingerboard.
Stainless frets and premium hardware
Medium jumbo stainless steel frets offer a slick feel and excellent durability, helping your S7 New Gen maintain a consistent playing response over time. Paired with a Sire modern two-post tremolo bridge and locking tuners, this guitar is engineered for stable tuning and confident use of the vibrato system.
Features
- North American Alder body: Provides a balanced tonal foundation with clear mids, tight lows and a sweet top end. This classic tonewood choice helps the S7 New Gen sit naturally in a band mix, making it equally at home on stage or in the studio.
- Sire LC Super SSS pickup set: The newly-tuned single-coils deliver a wide palette of tones via the five-way switch. You can move from sparkling cleans to punchy, driven sounds without losing articulation, giving you the flexibility to cover multiple styles with a single guitar.
- Compound radius, with Edgeless fingerboard: The 9.5 to 14 inch compound radius and rolled Edgeless fretboard edges make the neck feel smooth and fast under the fingers. This design keeps chords comfortable while allowing low, clean action for soloing and big bends higher up the neck.
- Stainless steel frets and locking tuners: Medium jumbo stainless frets resist wear and maintain a consistent feel over time, while Sire premium locking tuners make string changes quicker and help improve tuning stability.
