Sire Larry Carlton R3DZ Vintage Sunburst Electro-Acoustic Dreadnought Guitar

Allmänt

Sire presents the Larry Carlton R3DZ. Built from tried-and-thoroughly-tested wood, this electro-acoustic comes topped with solid spruce, a neck, back and sides made of mahogany, and an Indian rosewood fretboard. This combination gives the R3DZ its rich foundation sound and sweetly present high-end. The sound of this guitar has a touch more life than that of laminated-bodied guitars while having a little more humidity resistance than a full solid-body. The bridge saddle and string nut are made of genuine bone for more prominent resonant transfer, and this guitar thoughtfully comes including a detached scratchplate so that it can be mounted only if it's actually needed.

The Larry Carlton R3DZ: One External Preamp and Two Pickups

The most surprising feature of this guitar is the amplification system. While this fully-fledged electro-acoustic comes with an integrated piëzo pickup, it also comes with an external Zebra 7 preamp and an extra sound hole pickup included. The sound hole pickup is easily mounted and, using the BLE control on the preamp, the balance and mix between the piëzo and sound hole pickups can be set. If the amplified sound is feeling a little bit thin, then simply hit the PH switch to flip the phase and thicken things up. Besides the input gain and output volume, the Zebra 7 also provides a three-band EQ so the amplified sound of the Larry Carlton R3D can be customised in detail.
