Larry Carlton 2026 brings new S7 Models with Swirl Color Variants and L7 Dx Series
The T7 and Q7 series also feature new stylish colors!

The Larry Carlton 2026 releases in collaboration with Sire are here! The company has earned an excellent reputation in recent years, particularly with its ST and LP models. And with the new S7 models featuring this amazing swirl finish, that’s unlikely to change. There are also new additions to the single-cut range with the L7-DX series.

Larry Carlton 2026: S7 Series with Swirl Finish and Ash Top

If you like eye-catchy , super unusual color variants, this release’s visual highlights are these two models: Black Swirl* and Blue Swirl*. This finish is probably the most eye-catching in the entire NAMM 2026 guitar universe! These ST models also feature the typical HSS setup (including coil-splitting for the humbucker), 22 stainless steel frets, and locking tuners.

The S7 series also includes this stylish “Ash Top” model with a swamp ash top. This amber burst finish on it is really something! The remaining features of this model are similar to those of the Swirl models. All three are available at Thomann* at incredibly low prices for this level of craftsmanship.
The L7 DX with new bindings and even more LP feeling

The L7 series also sees an update in Larry Carlton 2026. Or one might even call it an upgrade, as the L7 DX is a whole new series that stands slightly above the standard models in terms of features. Compared to previous L7 models, these models feature an extra binding around the back of the body, locking tuners, and two LC Custom-2 humbuckers.
Larry Carlton 2026 also introduces the L5 series, which is positioned between the L3 and L7 in terms of features and price. It comes with two LC Standard-2 humbuckers with coil-splitting via the tone controls, a rosewood fingerboard, a Sire Modern Tune-O-Matic bridge, and a mahogany body.
Q7 and T7 with amazing new colors

The T-Style models from the T7 series also feature new colors in Larry Carlton 2026, namely the swirl finishes familiar from the S7 models. Although Black Swirl is missing here, there is Blue Swirl* again and the gorgeous Yellow Swirl*.

And, since we’re still talking about the most colorful Larry Carlton release in years, the high-end semi-hollow Q7 series must be mentioned as well. It comes in three new colors: Hollow Transparent Blue*, Transparent Black*, and Hollow Amber Burst*. The blue model in particular is an absolute treat, isn’t it?
