This Larry Carlton T3 is a seriously cool guitar—a fantastic tribute to his signature sound. It nails that classic Tele vibe with a touch more warmth thanks to the mahogany body and those surprisingly good Sire pickups. It's perfect for players wanting a versatile, workhorse instrument for blues, country, and rock without a premium-priced tag.

Frequently Asked Questions
The 'C' profile is generally a bit fuller than a vintage Tele’s often thinner 'C' or 'U' shape, offering a more modern feel for faster playing.
They capture a similar clarity and chime, but the Sire pickups have a slightly more refined and balanced tone—a touch less harshness and a bit more low-end presence.
Like most metallic finishes, it’s best to be mindful of impacts, but the finish seems reasonably durable, though minor scuffs are always a possibility.
