Larry Carlton - X6 6-String Headless Black Swirl

The X6 6-String Headless Black Swirl from Sire Larry Carlton has been designed with the modern guitarist in mind, combining ergonomics and versatility. Its headless format reduces weight and improves balance, while integrating the tuning system directly into the bridge for greater stability and easier handling.

The multiscale pitch, from 25" to 25.5", optimises string tension and ensures an even response throughout the entire register. Low frequencies gain in precision and clarity, while high frequencies retain a fluidity that's ideal for fast solos or advanced techniques. The mahogany body, topped by a maple top, provides a warm, defined tonal base that's equally suited to solid rhythms and melodic passages.

The C-profile hard maple neck, combined with an Edgeless™ rosewood fingerboard with rounded edges, provides consistent comfort throughout the length of the 24 Medium Jumbo stainless steel frets. The 16" radius promotes natural playability, suitable for extended chords as well as technical phrasing.

The electronics are based on two LC Modern humbuckers, delivering a rich, nuanced palette of sound. The 5-position selector, combined with the volume and tone controls, makes it easy to explore different textures. With its Black Swirl aesthetic and black hardware, this guitar embodies a balance between distinctive style, comfort and performance.
