Feelers Out! Sire Larry Carlton S7 FM (Flame Maple) Natural - £400 ish maybe?

delorean · June 2022

Just gauging interest right now, will take a firm decision whether 'to sell or not to sell' over the next few days, pending the outcome of some x-rays and scans.

Backstory - We bought this guitar, brand new from Andertons about 4 weeks ago, for my partner to learn on. Since then it's never been taken out of the house - apart from to take these photos in the garden this morning.

It's been played a grand total of 3 (three!) times. Not because it isn't great (it's actually bloody lovely!), but my girlfriend has just been diagnosed with suspected arthritis in her fretting hand, and is currently on the fence about whether or not to continue learning as she's finding it quite painful.

It's gorgeous to play (if you don't have arthritis of course), and the roasted maple neck plays beautifully - the fretboard is lacquered making bends and slides feel absolutely effortless. I would keep onto it for myself, but I already have all my S-type HSS bases covered.

Andertons are currently selling them for £459. Would there be any interest at around the £400(ono) price point?

Based in Hertfordshire (Berkhamsted). There's no hard case, but it would come with a TourTech padded gig bag.
