  • THE SIRE FLAMED S-SHAPED ELECTRIC GUITAR
    The S-style Sire guitar is enhanced with 5A flamed veneer on the body to make it look more fascinating ready for stage and studio performances. Its retro features from body to hardware and electronics make Larry Carlton's tonal characteristics standout.
    FEATURES
    - The neck of the Sire S7 is composed of a roasted maple neck, rolled fretboard edges, and satin finish to make landing of chords and guitar solos more comfortable.
    - Its electronics and hardware are finely configured to the tonal preferences of Larry Carlton.

    hey one big update for the 2022 S7 models is that beyond changing the pickup covers, controls and pick guard to ivory, they changed the bridge to a zebra and added the ability to split the coils on the humbucker using a push/push tone knob. Just received mine (in blue) two weeks ago. WORTH THE WAIT!! (4 months). Would love to see you do an updated video

      I love this guy he gets down to the point and I agree with literally everything he said about sire infact I ordered the sire LP gold and black for trade for a fender stratocaster player even trade.i don't care about the name I want the quality I honestly don't really like stratocaster it's not as well built as the sire

      They didn't just change the covers ;). The newer pickups are actually an upgrade. The mid-range on the newer pickups give you a little more punch/boost over the 1st Generations.

The zebra pickups are phenomenal and the push/push pot really adds another level of great tone when splitting the humbucker. For my hands the neck actually feels as though it was custom made.

    Always enjoy your reviews. Unfortunately Sire guitars are unavailable in the US for now. I was told probably July by sweetwater. So I bought a Jack Fowler Schecter . I'm a small guy and I like the thin C. I gave it a set up with hybrid 9's and it is so easy to play. I owned a schecter in the mid 80's , it was like a parts tele with strat neck.

The H7 (Vintage Sunburst), L7 (Tobacco Sunburst), S7FM (Natural), and T7FM (Natural). They should arrive in 4 to 5 months and I can't wait.

Le rapport qualité prix est vraiment excellent, et peut même permettre de se faire un avion de chasse, en mettant des micros plus à son goût (ou pas.) Moi j'y mettrais bien un kit emg dg20. Je pense que c'est la même qualité qu'une player séries Fender, mais pour 200 euros de moins.

    Hurray! You finally got a Sire! I knew you would like it. Notice the tuning pegs vary in height. That's what eliminates the need for a string tree. I hope you try out the T7 FM also and at least one of the A4 acoustics. Your price was off though. At Sweetwater they are $599 for the vintage and $659 for the FM. Such a deal! Thanks, Jon

    Beautiful playing and excellent demo.
    I´m currently desiding on wether to pick the S7 HSS or the S7 Vintage. Really want to get some good bluesy SRV/Mayer-ish tones, but also nice to be able to play something heavier.
    How do you think the S7 HSS is compared to the S7 Vintage for getting some good blues tones?
    Keep up the good work!

    Sounds fantastic!!! What were you playing through (Amp, effects, etc)? All of it sounded great with that guitar.
