The S3 New Gen is a refined take on the classic S-style electric guitar, offering exceptional value with upgraded features for enhanced performance and longevity. Designed with a sleek new color lineup and a solid construction, it meets the needs of modern players. Its lightweight Indonesian Mahogany body follows the Larry Carlton-approved traditional S-style shape of the S7, ensuring comfort and playability. Paired with a C-shaped hard Maple neck and an Edgeless Rosewood fretboard, it provides a smooth, effortless feel.

Equipped with the Standard-ST Pickup Set, the S3 New Gen features three specially tuned single-coil pickups that deliver a versatile range of sophisticated tones. These pickups capture the essence of Larry Carlton's signature sound, offering crisp highs, warm mids, and dynamic clarity in all positions—bridge, middle, and neck. Completing its modern appeal, the guitar is labeled with "New Gen" on the pickguard for easy identification.
