Thanks for covering the Site Darrell! I just put money down on a Fender Tele FMT HH (which you just reviewed. Any thoughts on a comparison between the Sire T7 FM and the Fender FMT HH?
Would you really buy a t-7 made by cort? I know I would.They look way better than the mexican Fenders.
Who's the imposter telling literally everyone commenting that they're on a "short list" of winners...?
Using your picture as their profile Pic as well Darrell
Looks great
Daryl Braun guitar Are you giving the sire t7 blue away in a give away?
Another side note. You're playing over the years has just become so CLEAN. Thanks for the inspiration you give us all to become better!
I love the signature neck they’re using across the models, it’s unique and allows you to recognize the brand at a glance.
Last Year I had tested the T7 white. Absolutely great! It don't matters if you playing blues or rock music. A high quality guitar with a lot of character.
The flamed maple double humbucker is the Sire I've been positively obsessed with, and I haven't even played one yet!
I finally got my Sire T7 with the zebra humbuckers in the same blue flame maple as this one here and it is stupendous! It took 10 months from ordering it to getting it through Sweetwater but it was totally worth it. Mine is just crazy good in every regard.
Thanks Darrell. I really enjoy all your videos but I’ve been anxiously waiting for this one. I’d sure like to find one to try.
I love every aspect of the blue one except not having the traditional pickup configuration. I need a hybrid of the two!
that butterscotch one is stunning. those inlays really set off the roasted neck. love it!
Love that blue one.. I got the S7 HSS about 6 months ago and it's flawless... the frets.. the neck.. stays in tune.. sounds very good.
Thanks again for your in depth reviews.
I have that S7 also and it quickly became one of my very favorite guitars!
Definitely on my short list! Thanks for the review.
Great review of this line of guitars that I'm only learning about recently. Love the idea that traditional telly has the sound that everybody has grown up loving with the sculpted neck joint which would certainly help with playability. The blue guitar top is outstanding. Would love to see a traditional pickup set up in that blue color finish also. I'm sure both are a gorgeous experience!
Yep.
The big disappointment is the thickness of the neck, its beyond even Fender tele thick, its quite a bit thicker than a Les Paul, in fact outside acoustic Im not aware of a fatter neck. Its 22.9mm at first fret. I find the scarfed neck joint a bit of a "look its scarfed" rather than being functionally beneficial like with other companies who do a deepr version. Its far from perfect and there are a number of better value gats around, but its also a fairly solid buy, all guitars have faults, I like mine, but I think people need to be aware of the bad as well as the good. :-)
Been waiting for this Darrell…thanks! A T7 is on my Wish List!
I've been waiting for this. Beautiful workmanship, killer tone. Keep up the good work. Love the channel ✅🎵.
Thanks for that Darrell. I'd seen lots of reviews of the "traditional style" sire Tele, but not the modern. Think I will be purchasing it!!!!
The fretboards on those guitars look so lustrous and smooth!
that guitar is gorgeous. love the darker neck and headstock, esp with that blue. and the abalone inlays look SUPER nice in that color scheme.
Thank you @DarrellBraunguitar I just received my T7 FM and the initial feel look and sound, awesome. Doing a deep dive this coming week. Appreciate your detailed review and enthusiasm!!!
Very informative video! Thanks
I love your videos. I have been looking for a good telecaster copy and this definitely sparked my interest. Thanks for sharing!...
Well after listening to you in your videos I want to thank you. Such good clear information. Was looking for a new electric guitar after playing acoustic on my Tackamine for 40 years . My beautiful wife said we could now afford a guitar . Bought a Gibson J 15 acoustic and then she said there is room for one more. Hello electric. After all the reading took your advice and bought the Blue Larry Carlton T7. More for the bang . Gone up in price but a lot less then a telecaster.Waiting for it to arrive. Hope too take it to Mexico to play . Thanks one again for all the spec info . Looking forward to of you videos. 😊 Winnipeg
I’ve been on the hunt for a HH Tstyle and you may have just finished that hunt! Great tones, great review!
Thank you for your in Depth review.
Once again you put out great information.
I was looking forward to hearing the neck pick-up on the Butterscotch Tele. Denied!
These really seem like fantastic Guitars. I think I’ll get both of them. Thank you for making this video!!
@+❶ ２６Ѳ ❻➂❸ ➆➁➈５ - you are a liar
Great stuff Darrell. I just got my S7 HSS in white and it is ridiculously good. Ohhhhh the neck.. It blows away my two Fender strat MIM's. Love seeing the T7 and one is on my list in the future.
Nice guitars, excellent presentation!
Sire delivers a great product! I have the Sire V7 5-string bass - talk about top quality control for the price. Great review, Darrell!!
I have the tobacco burst version of the non flame top one.
I think its just gorgeous like a piece of caramel candy, and it just sings..!
Beautiful sounding tele, Im very happy with it.
You had me from the first strum. Good sounding, beautiful guitars!
Thank you for your great videos, guitar sound awesome and beautiful to look at, also playing is inspiring.
I’m gonna get me one of those! Thanks for the great review!
Great review as always Darrell. I'd love to see you review more amp's and some low watt not so loud tube combo options that give you a great tone. eg Harley Benton 15C v a Fender Blues Junior or a Marshall DSL Combo
Great stuff. I would have liked to heard the T7 single coil neck pickup. Thats where the tone is at on a Tele also for Blues etc.
As always, another GREAT VIDEO!
Wow! Very good demo playing, strip down and discussion. I usually drift off watching CZcams guitar teardowns, but you kept me fixated to this one! Great work and thanks.
@+❶ ２６Ѳ ❻➂❸ ➆➁➈５ Contact Admin? Where is that?
As usual, a great review! Thanks Darrell!
Beautiful guitar 🎸
Your usual thorough demonstration. The trem model is ideal for a variety band & the butterscotch plank a credible country/roots tool. So cool when you went behind the nut. You’re ready to take on the Danny Gatton/Roy Buchanan catalogue.
I like the look of the blue one better, but I love the sound of the other one more. I think the pickups are outstanding, especially that twangy single coil on that standard. Wish they made the single coil one with the trem and blue flame. I may have to by one of these.
Agreed! I'd buy that configuration in a heartbeat...
Thats exactly what I was hoping for!
Love the blue one! Great tones! Thanks Darell......Sal : )
WOW! Impressive guitars at any cost point... but at their price, so fantastic! Thanks for the thorough review!
Great review
Great video as always bud thanks 🤠🤘
Waiting for the Sire L7 review, been wanting to buy it, but not before your review! :D
Happy new year Sir. Please review one Jamstik just for the fun of it!
Truly excellent reviews as per usual Darrell. Thank you for keeping up the high standards my friend
Great Darrell. When I get ready to buy a new guitar I will buy it through your channel links to support the channel.
Thank you so much for the demo. Love that Sire is providing standard what Fender charges as extra with locking tuners. I love a tremolo on a standard Telecaster which Fender rarely does save a yucky Bigsby. Wanted some dirt examples but if I'm honest the pickups aren't special. Kinda blah, particularly the neck setting on the Blue T7. Will buy something different but will keep my eye out on Sire for future models.
Neck pickup sounded wonderful
@@the.communist thought it was thin compared to a proper tele pickup and character-less. To each their own though, buy it if you dig it.
Nice guitars! Thanks for featuring them.
Thank you again Darrell! Love your content and this was especially helpful! 😉

What is this?
Hey Darrell! I checked out your Music Album and I think it's Great! Great Guitar Musical Style! I wonder if most of your Channel Followers know just how good you are. Love the Album, keep the Music coming! (no, we aren't related or acquainted. I'm just a Music lover!). Another Great Video as well! Cheers!
I want a Sire so bad! I've been trying to sell off my CVs, Strats and Epi to get one each S-7, T-7, H-7. Hoping I can pull it off. Thanks for another awesome review Darrell!
Thanks Darell for another great video. I am waiting for L7 review, I have purchase guitar 2 months ago.
I’ve recently got the Sire S7 Strat in antique white. It’s a great guitar with great attention to detail.
You are one of the best with your reviews. Highly experienced.I recently purchased this guitar in natural from G.C. after this review. Picker since 1971. If you have been playing a strat like myself, you will enjoy this guitar. Beautiful woods, contour, comfortable body and excellent neck, humbuckers.

@@MarkStokes-zb1yp why did you respond this way??? Im the only one that received something like this...dont like "old" guys"? says to me ------- Im a geek, nerd, dweeb -teenager? or just plain immature!
Fantastic, good to see super quality at the price point,
The blue tele would be my fav workhorse, with the trem and some strat-tones as a bonus. Gorgeous axe, just have to get used to the immense gloss on the fretboard.
A normal tele has gloss on the fret board
@@dannyrivers3922 You mean the 52 reissue by example. Yes it does. It just shows even more on a baked maple board. And therefore not quite appealing and not my cup of tea when it comes to feel. Anyway I would prefer a rosewood board like a lot of normal tele's have. Like the Am. Series tele I had.
I bought this exact guitar (blue fm) from sweetwater but they are backorder until March. Look forward to playing it.
Love these Sire guitars
Those do seem like a great value both in high quality parts and workmanship!! Fender does offer a tele that is a little similar, made overseas and rarely talked about! It's the Fender FMT HH and is made in Indonesia, with "Fender" displayed on the headstock! That one is mahogany with a maple cap, and a set mahogany neck with laurel fretboard. Pups are 2 Seymour Duncan humbuckers! The body and neck are bound and it has a graphite nut. The bridge is a string through hardtail and it does not have locking tuners. With the Gibson-like features it still has the 25.5" scale. They also are saying "flame maple top" with no mention of veneer. It looks very nice. In any case, still looks like good value for it's $999 price. Thought it was worth a mention. 8) --gary
The blue T7 is so beautiful. I really don't understand why most of the manufacturers don't put tremolo on Tele. Sire is a big competitor to Fender and Gibson but I love to see it.
forse perché il tremolo ne snatura il classico suono vintage?
Darrell, would love to see you review the SIre acoustics as well. They appear equally awesome at super reasonable prices.
Hey man! Didn't see a review of the s7 vintage.. really interested for that! Hope it's coming up soon 😃
@+❶ ２６Ѳ ❻➂❸ ➆➁➈５ scammer alert 😂😂
I can't believe somebody came out with an affordable T style guitar with a trem! That thing sounds amazing.
Darrell, that Neck pickup in Position 5 @ 5:52 sounds amazing !!! What a beautifully-balanced tone !!!
Nice playing 👍
Perfect (really) late night to luck across this video by one of my go-to gat guys. Especially since I have this very (now [yester]day) acquired less than half price exactly the guitar I’ve wanted especially for jazz
An early L&G semi hollow Telecaster ASAT Tribute Special Edition.
Oh and a new amp - Vox AC15C
Thanks Darrell for the review, a sire has been on my next guitar list to get and then I was torn between that and a G&L Commache... oh well, I guess I will have to get one of each...lol
Love translucent blue finishes (favorite finish ever).
That blue one definitely has a Strat sound with the Tele looks. I like them both!
Looks like on the T7 Trad, you have string through the body, but if you don't want that, you can top load the strings too! Which is a nice little option.
Beautiful would love to have one
That Tele is gorgeous. I think i'm getting one, they release here in April!
Pulled the trigger a few weeks ago on the Fender FMT ... What a great guitar, plays like butter, I love it Thanks for the review Darrell
But I do fancy the Sire Strat... My credit card is twitching.!!!
It is a pity we don't have this brand represented here where I live, in Brazil. They are stuning in looks, and I liked very much the sound also, very good quality guitar! Please Larry Carlton come to Brazil!
Thanks Darrell , I am loving your uplifting and enthusiastic presentation.
The blue flame top guitar has a excellent high quality finish, those roasted maple neck’s are just beautiful, it’s obvious that this company has high standard’s and quality control, putting Fender to shame, Fender you can do better!
Aquamarine one looks beautiful and sounds great!!
Definitely need to look into getting the blue flame top, I really want a Tele style
Gorgeous guitars!
love what you do.
Have you heard of IYV from Amazon. I bought one not expecting much, and was surprised. Very well made and plays & sounds much better than it’s low cost.
Wow another awesome sire guitar. Now I can add a Tele to my sire list. Best part is can get 2 sires for the price of 1 from another manufacturer.
Thank you. At least one Sire is in my future. Just have to decide which one.
Best value for money! Amazing guitars. I love them
Beautiful guitars and as always your the best
@+❶ ２６Ѳ ❻➂❸ ➆➁➈５ Hello I’m Bob Krause replying back regarding the Sire T7
@@bobkrause0103 don't feed the bots, it's a scam
@@rynomclaughlin1595 thank you
The tension screw for the term arm should be pushing on the back of the arm instead of the side, it's a detail I know, but important. Maybe you can turn the trem arm housing yourself, but it should be right from the factory FWIW
Just came from your s7 sire video. And tbh I'm convinced... I'd be hard pressed to buy a reg strat or Tele now. These have much better specs and parts for cheaper! Only real issue is less variety in colors and finishes, I can live with that.
Awesome guitar and great video as always! I think you should try using a smaller camera aperture for the close-ups ;-) There's no need for so much sexy bokeh all the time and it makes focusing more difficult. I noticed this in some videos before, but in this one was a bit extreme.
Hi. I just discovered your channel and I have subscribed. I enjoy the videos. While I focus on the purchase
of high end guitars (PRS; Mayones; etc...), I have grown to appreciate your focus on "under the radar" guitars. I have purchased a number of "under the radar" high end such as Kemp; McNaught and Eggles but also some much lower priced guitars. I recently discovered the "Agile" brand from Rondo guitars in NH which are very, very affordable. I purchased 3 and I am impressed, especially with the fact that the maple tops are caps and NOT veneers. It would be nice to see a review of an Agile to get your thoughts. Happy Holidays.
With those necks these seem like a great base for modding to your own needs... adding some nice pickups etc. I'd love to know if the pickguard matches a standard fender template? It would be a shame if those aren't an easy swap!
Nice review
I want to buy the S7, right now...just sold my old Fender Mexican Strat, perfect to replace it, a real upgrade! I'll stick to PRSs as main guitars for the moment.
Thanks for the many great videos. I was wondering about your standard setting on your H&K Grandmeister. ( just got one )
Now i ordered a T7 in blue…. You are guilty !!!😉😉
Great review. Just bought me a Fender CS and almost regret it watching the blue Sire T7. I feel some GAS coming 🙃
dang those sires are too good to be true. It's like I can experience what my guitar collector friend back said in the 80's 90's when japan was making killer guitars for cheap at US made levels and he was buying those J guitars like crazy. Cleaner inside than MIM tele I have . . . thanks saw your first sire video and clued me into these guitars
I love Telecaster shap, but I prefer the Stratocaster's "inside body", it fits our body (belly) more than a classical Tele. And you've got the humbucker sound (LP in a way).
The best of both worlds !!!
Very nice review Darrell. (as always).
I was looking at the Sire guitars a while back with a Strat model. I haven't pulled the trigger yet. I am actually waiting for a delivery from Germany with a Harley Benton Les Paul Gold Top model with P90s. It has got quite a few great reviews, like the Sires do. I hope it will not be a disappointment as I am nervous buying my first budget guitar. (I have a Gibson LP, ES335 and ES135, so I am nervous how the HB will stack up). If you have any feedback on HB guitars, please feel free. Thanks...

I have a Sire H7 Semi and a P7 Bass. You get a lot of guitar for not much money when compared to the guitars they are emulating.
You will not believe your eyes and ears when you see and play one. The T7 is next on my shopping list.
Really nice guitars!
How is this guy so friggin good, good sound, good video production! Why the hell isn't everyone like this cat...I'm angry at other CZcamsrs for being so bad!!!
