Sire Larry Carlton G5A Natural Satin Electro-Acoustic Guitar
Product no: 9000-0122-8629 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

Featuring an ultra-thinline body, the Sire Larry Carlton G5A electro-acoustic guitar boasts supreme comfort alongside the natural sparkle and depth of a solid spruce soundboard supported by a mahogany back and matching sides. The mahogany neck has a snug C-profile carve, has been bolted on for improved stability and comes topped with a rosewood fretboard that adds a warm accent to the overall tone. For a fully played-in feel, this steel-stringed guitar has also been given the Edgeless treatment, where the fretboard edges have been smoothly rounded off to ease note-navigation.

The Larry Carlton G5A: Steel-Strung Sparkle Without the Feedback

The G5A has been specially designed for stage work, so alongside comfy playability, you're getting clean and clear, full-bodied amplified sound without the unwanted feedback. Plug the pre-fitted Vividx-N preamp and piezo pickup system into an acoustic amplifier or PA, tweak the fitted three-band EQ controls and toggle the phase-switch to sculpt excellent live sound.

R Descy 20 December 2024

Wrote the following about Sire Larry Carlton G5A Natural Satin Electro-Acoustic Guitar

I really wanted to like this guitar. Everything about it seemed perfect on paper for me, and when I received it the guitar itself looked absolutely beautiful - evidently a quality instrument. However, I found myself quite disappointed by the sound. I tried it through three different high quality acoustic amps and had the same issue on all of them. The guitar sounded overly muddy and lacked definition between notes. I found myself perpetually adjusting the EQ sliders to try to establish clarity of tone and a good EQ balance but just wasn't able to. The notes, when played, sounded agricultural rather than vibrant. I was very disappointed and feel that Sire could have done so much more with this guitar. Maybe others will have a different experience keeping in mind that I am a fingerstyle player and this guitar might suit more traditional pick playing better.

Of the many new products presented at the Musikmesse in Frankfurt, some, like this new acoustic guitar from Yamaha, are real standouts. Yamaha themselves refer to the TransAcoustic system as revolutionary and it's not hard to see why.

And they do this without the need for an amplifier.
