SIRE I-SERIES BODY
A redesigned single-cut body made of sandblasted Swamp Ash, a wood material historically known to produce natural sound, combined with the Edgeless™ roasted Maple neck for more fun plays.
LC SUPER-ST PICKUP SET
A newly tuned Larry Carlton-approved HSS pickup configuration that produces a versatile sound heard in similar higher-priced models.
SIRE PREMIUM LOCKING TUNERS
