LARRY Carlton G5N Cedar Natural

Product details

Similar in concept and construction to the new Larry Carlton G5A electric guitars, Sire’s G5C range is designed to deliver that distinctive classical guitar sound from a slimline design that feels wholly electric. With a thicker neck and nylon strings, the Larry Carlton G5C guitars reproduce the sound of a classical guitar but without the feedback in live situations, serving up tones that are smooth and sophisticated.

Key features

• Comfort and elegance - Sire’s Edgeless™ fretboard design features rolled, smoothened edges for a superior feel and playing experience.
• Solid acoustic body - A beautiful chambered Mahogany body is topped with solid Cedar to produce a rounder, deeper sound.
• Vividx-N Preamp - A more typical preamp for a guitar that uses nylon strings, it features a Piezo pickup under the saddle and easy-to-access volume, mix and phase controls.

A classical sound with an electric feel

With a thinline body made of Mahogany topped with solid Cedar, the Larry Carlton G5C is the perfect choice for electric guitar players who want a more classical sound without having to compromise the comfort and feel of their instrument. The streamlined construction of the G5C also means that feedback is significantly reduced when plugged in.

Designed for comfort and speed

The edges of the Rosewood, C-Shape neck have been meticulously rolled and smoothened to ensure a more comfortable feel than you may be accustomed to from a classical-style guitar. The guitar feels as though it’s been used on the road for years and the edgeless neck makes transitioning up and down the fretboard quickly an absolute breeze.

High-quality electronics

The Larry Carlton G5C electric guitars feature a Piezo pickup situated under the saddle and an active preamp that comes with a 3-band EQ (for Treble, Middle and Bass) with a phase switch, allowing for precise control over the guitar’s tone and sound.
