The S3 HSS New Gen is a traditional HSS-style S-shaped electric guitar that offers exceptional value, now enhanced with significant features to ensure superior performance and durability. Designed with trendy colors and a robust port, it meets the demands of modern players. The body, made from Indonesian Mahogany, follows the Larry Carlton-approved S-style shape of the S7, known for its lightweight and comfortable design. It is paired with a C-shaped hard Maple neck and an EDGELESS Rosewood fretboard for a smooth playing experience.

The newly developed LC HSS pickup set combines a humbucker in the neck position for a cleaner and warmer tone with two S-style single-coils that deliver accurate and versatile S-style tones, making it suitable for a wide range of musical styles. The Sire New Gen aesthetics have been elevated with a fresh lineup of colors and a robust port, catering to contemporary players. For easy identification, the pickguard is labeled with "New Gen."
