Just an FYI. The ashtray is NOT the Bridge. The ashtray was a removable cover that went OVER the bridge. People took it off and placed it upside down and used IT as the ashtray. Because of this it often got lost which is why you don't see many old Telecasters with them. The Bridge is the Bridge and NOT the ashtray. Thought you ought to know. Best Regards.
Everything you said about it is true. I've had mine for 2 months now and it is amazing. I would rather have this than even consider spending 2 or $3,000 on a Fender.
One of the best and enjoyable reviews on the channel . Thoroughly appreciated this and have watched it several times. After a year or so of flip flopping I ready to purchase this guitar. Thanks Jimmy !
I love my T7. I’ve lowered the action and thrown a hybrid set on 9’s on it. Recently did a pickup swap for some Dimarzio’s, 500k pots, 4 way switch, and a killswitch button for the hell of it
Great review. Thank you! If you have time, I would be grateful for a piece of advice: I’m into jazz, and I’m hesitating, do you recommend this Sire T7 over a Fender Telecaster?
Great review. As someone that is not anywhere near your shred level, I wonder what you think of the rolled edges for bends/vibrato? A couple of years ago I had a Yamaha Pacific (their top model), however the frets were rolled and neck was more "skinny" than my Fenders...I noticed I would ALWAYS have the E string (mostly the top string/low E) slip off the rolled edge when playing, if I didn't play absolutely perfectly accurate....it was frustrating. While the Fenders have nowhere near the nice fretwork, I don't have that issue on them. I wonder if you noticed that at all while jamming on the S7 or T7?
I purchased my Butterscotch T7 from Sweetwater last month, which they immediately replaced after it arrived with shipping damage on the headstock (great customer service, btw). I've always wanted a Butterscotch Tele, but never pulled the trigger because the 'particulars' I wanted always came with a premium price. I'm happy to say that the T7 has all those great particulars, but at a much more affordable price, and dare I say- even better quality. There's nothing I dislike about the T7, and everything to like. It does everything a Tele does, only with less damage to the wallet. And that neck? It's easily the best feeling and playing neck I've ever played, and I've owned several Fenders, Charvels, and PRS guitars. I don't know how they do it at that price, but I hope and pray they continue. The S7 and L7V are on my short list now.
@@cazziebb1707 to be fair, the damage happened in transit, more than likely. Sweetwater shipped the guitar in the hard case I purchased, and it was obvious that the box it was was dropped on the headstock end.
Hi Jimmy, just came across your channel, amazing stuff! I am a newbie here, and looking for my first guitar. If I were to ask you, would you recommend this one over the Fender Player? The same for the S7 over the Fender player Strat? Also, if I look for somethign bit more cheap, would you recommend the S3/T3 over Squier CV Strat or 50s Tele? Just a opinion would be good. And asking because with the Sire I can save some bucks, but maybe with a few more pounds I can reach to the fender bodies. Thank you in advance and continue your work, Im a subsc.
I like your videos, relaxed and fun. I would like to know your preference between the Sire Larry Carlton T7, the Squier Classic Vibe '60s Custom Telecaster and the Fender player (MIM), knowing that the Squier could take an upgrade in pickups (with the difference in price to the others) ?
What are everyone's thoughts on the stock pickups? Has anyone upgraded pickups, and if so, what did you swap it with. I have the T7 Tobacco sunburst and loving the feel of the whole guitar
truly amazing guitar for the money.. if you hate it you can send it back. the only downside is pickups arent my favorite but thats so easy to change. but the feel is superb

I really like the gloss. It adds some beauty.
I think so too. And I don’t feel any difference
I just ordered a T7 three tone sunburst roasted maple neck a true thing of beauty 😊
I just got mine last week and love it
I wish there was an option to not have the shiny fingerboard.
Sand it down?
There is. It’s the T3 for even less money

So much for the 1000 point inspection.

Yo Jimmy, really enjoyed this video. Great playing!! What were you playing thru? That is a Great looking and sounding guitar! Just subscribed!
Im buying this guitar
Looks fantastic. I wonder how it compares to the fender player series.

Great review! Will you recommend this for some heavier stuff like Lamb of God, Periphery, Disturbed etc.?
Not at all!! But there may be a sore guitar with humbuckers better suited for such styles!
If you get the T7 FM then absolutely could do that
Great review🤘🏻 Do you think you could get your hands on a T-3 and review it… please and thank you🤗

Thought the pick ups sounded great.
My Fender Player Tele has a gloss maple fingerboard and a satin back.
what year?? i havent seen that before
@@jimmyfranklin 2022 Players Series (75th Anniversary) Tele with a maple fingerboard but it’s not a roasted maple neck/board like my Sire T7.
the finish on fretboard is a vintage touch
I own the S7 and love it, and will buy other models soon 😊
If you like humbuckers, have you tried the Squier Contemporary Tele? Hot humbuckers (a Rail HB at the bridge).
I sold my Fender American Standard because of the glossy fingerboard. Is the S7 fingerboard sticky as well?
also top stringing which I think I prefer....did I miss that?
This sounds like a review of your reverb pedal... lol
Is it really a great guitar? Because I’m considering it.
truly amazing guitar for the money.. if you hate it you can send it back. the only downside is pickups arent my favorite but thats so easy to change. but the feel is superb
wish it had a heel join contour
Easy to mod. Wishing is not a strategy.
Where are these made?
Indonesia
