Which one of us is Jürgen Klopp?

@@TSFAHTPS The one with the beard and glasses of course... :) Jokes aside Gabor looks a bit like Jürgen but only from his chocolate side... :D Since BF is tomorrow, are these S7 HSS recommendable over a Fender's player strat (plus or some higher end models) when it comes to the overall package? Do pickups need a swap or are they good to go for blues-rock stuff?

[@robertmenzies6939]

One thing that actually stood out for me was how in tune the guitar stayed when using the whammy bar. I know there are locking tuners but so many guitars of this type fall down where the strings do not move freely through the neck head stock nut and need some kind of sanding or chalking.

[@TSFAHTPS]

The Trem is great! The quality of all the parts is really good…very impressive guitars!! It reminds me a lot of a Japanese made Ibanez AZ I played a few years ago at 42 Gear Street…which was a killer guitar!

Thise pickups sound better than pearly gates. Amazing for this price. I'm considering the S-7FM. Currently I'm torn between the S-7 FM and the T-7 FM that has two humbuckers and two single coils. One bridge and one neck. Then again I could just buy an S-3 for 400 bucks and call it a day.

Nice to see some demos about those guitars ! Good to hear also that it can handle a heavier sets of strings ! Keep rocking !

Salut Olivier, Ta S7 est-elle ta première guitare ? Est-ce débutant ? Pourquoi avoir choisi un HSS plutôt qu'une SSS ? J'ai essayé un T7 FM et j'avais peur de toujours faire sortir la corde de Mi du manche "à cause" des bordures arrondies. As-tu eu des difficultés à ce niveau ?

[@MoutchouPitchou95]

@@thymick5581 ça dépend ce que tu veux jouer. Une Telecaster est assez typée rock, même si ça reste une guitare assez polyvalente. Les strat c'est plutôt fait pour du son clean, même si le humbucker de la S7 lui donne pas mal de caractère et un bon son gras. Perso, je joue plus à la Telecaster qu'à la strat, mais cette dernière est plus facile, car son diapason (distance entre la frette 0 et la 12) est plus petit, ce qui rend les bends plus facile (la corde est moins longue), et la taille des touches plus petites. En terme de polyvalence, pour une première guitare, avant d'avoir affirmé son vrai goût, moi je prendrai celle qui me plaît le plus sur le look. L'une et l'autre sont très bien faites et te permettront de jouer tout ce que tu veux.

[@digital-guitars-uk]

Must admit I sold mine which was the Blue Tiger Stripe but I did have this for over a year. Pretty decent spec for a budget guitar but I eventually picked up a PRS Sliver Sky SE. It's a personal taste to be honest. Thanks for sharing this with us. Best Wishes 👍👍👍👍

[@Spoilnins]

Could you tell us why you preferred the Silver Sky?

[@digital-guitars-uk]

@@Spoilnins Hello there. I happy to. So I started to play the guitar in 1983 well before the KZbin and Social Media and I always wanted to try a Valley Arts Guitar as Larry endorsed the brand probably before recording "On Solid Ground". I was hoping that the Sire would capture some of the sound textures that Larry was world famous for. I was lucky to watch Larry perform at the Baked Potato with Terry Trotter and a few other LA's artists. After his first set I was lucky to speak to him and also managed to have a look at his Valley Arts guitar which I though was really lovely at it sounded amazing through his Dumble Amp. I knew that you could never truly create that feeling and also comfort from such an incredible guitar but thought I'd try the Sire which I bought from Andertons and was a little disappointed for many reasons I didn't like the neck at all and felt it was to chunky but that's a personal thing as I like the modern "C" shape. I didn't like the pickups as they sounded a little flat but you can always change those but it was the neck for me. The guitar is a lovely looking guitar and for the money it's perfect but it wasn't for me. So I traded it in for a PRS Silver Sky which was an incredible guitar and everything just fell into place. The neck was very nice to play and the pickups (which you can change) felt perfectly balanced and this for me was a really nice guitar however slightly higher priced. Both guitar in my opinion offer different experiences and comfort over electrics always comes first for me but also the cost of the guitar. I trade a lot of my old equipment against new guitars but have not got hold of my ultimate guitar yet but I don't think I ever will as it's one of the hardest guitars to find. Cost is a big factor but also I actually managed to pay the PRS in my local guitar shop where as the Sire I didn't as Andertons is a few hundred miles away. I'd like to mention that if you can I would always advise anyone just to try a guitar, pedal amp etc.. before you make that final decision. Bearing in mind I have just bought the Headrush Prime which I have been using for over a month. Thanks for the comment and all my best wishes and I hope that if people read this trying is sometime better than actually buying but sometime location is a factor as in the UK most of the guitar shops are now closing due to the bigger chains like Andertons so it's best to support your local guitar shop as once they are gone they won't be coming back. 😊😊😊😊😎😎👍👍

@@digital-guitars-uk Thanks for sharing.

The champagne one is out with the aged white pickups... The way it should look. If I was being picky I'd want a black rosewood fingerboard on a roasted maple neck too.

[@thelastgreyhawk2161]

Back in February/March I ordered an L7 it still hasn't come in yet, but in the mean while I found a second hand S7 (Alex's variant) the previous owner "isn't a strat kinda guy" so after losing the whammy bar, and swapping the knobs for no reason, he sold it. After playing it I didn't touch my other guitars for weeks I instantly fell in love with the feel of the neck it was a massive improvement over what I'm use to its hard to wanna play on a gloss neck now. Satin is just so smooth, and the shape is just perfect for me. My only complaint was the treble bleed circuit, and some of its side effects. I had it removed while my luthier was setting it up, and now it's pretty perfect in my eyes.

If it is the sound you are going for, they are both great guitars. Both are also very comfortable to play. If you like your guitar to look great, you are better off with the Player plus.

I have the S7 HSS but found the pickups to be too bright rather than dark as mentioned in the vid. I swapped them out for a different set but of course this increases the overall price. The neck is very nice to play however. I'm interested to see if Sire go down the push/pull knob or switch for a guitar with more tonal options in the next model line up batch. I hope they do.

[@MehediHasan-iy6qs]

I m also thinking of changing the pickups. Would you please tell me which pickups you installed? Did you change the pots and the selector switch too?

[@keithb5612]

@@MehediHasan-iy6qs I purchased a boutique set on recommendation from a guy from NYC but lives and works in the UK, House of Tone Pickups . I chose Alnico 2/2/5 magnets from his recommendation. They were hand wound. He was very helpful with pickup information in this pickup swap. I didn't feel the need to change the pots etc but I added a Freeway Switch selector mod to give a total of x10 series/parallel tonal options rather than the stock x5 tones. Therer are many pickup sets available off the shelf too eg Seymour Duncan, Bare Knuckle, etc etc. It just depends if you want a vintage Strat sound or something more modern and wirh higher output etc. Good luck with your search. I'm much happier with my Sire S7 guitar pickups now.

[@MehediHasan-iy6qs]

@@keithb5612 Thanks Keith. Actually I love low output vintage fender tone as I tend to play more in clean than distortion. I primarily thought to install fender 57/62 on the neck and middle and SD Pearly gates on the bridge. What do you think? Will it be a good investment?

[@keithb5612]

@@MehediHasan-iy6qs Hi. Seymour Duncan have sound samples on their pickup website of individual pickups in clean/crunch tones etc which may be helpful.. Even contact/email a boutique pickup company local to you and ask for advice on your tonal preferences. You are under no obligation to buy from them but the info/conversation with them may colour your choice on pickups selection for your S7. I chose my middle pickup to be RWRP so that the 2nd and 4th selector switch positions would be hum cancelling so this may be useful to you too as some middle pickups are not RWRP.

[@abcd-fs2de]

I love the blue flames top. It is not traditional but if you love Les Pauls and want to try Strat it is somehow easier transition :) But what I still hate is the volume pot position - so many space to get it out from your strumming hand and they did not use it. A modern guitar should have it.

[@devinsinderwitcz9134]

I have to agree with your pot position assessment. I find that is the problem with Fender Strats also.

[@r.p.vanloon6403]

I was hesitating between a Fender Player plus and this Sire S7, which is a hype these days. So I went to the guitar shop to try them both out. There is nothing wrong with the sound and tone of the Sire, but I was disappointed with the paintwork. The one I tried was the Champagne Gold, which looked really nice on all the you tube channels and pictures, but In reality I thought it looked a bit cheap compared to the Player. Since everybody was saying that the finish of the Sire was impeccable, I was a bit disappointed. Overall I thought the Player looked a lot better and sounded more like a strat. I know there is a considerable price difference, but in the end I doubt if the S7 will keep its value.

[@TSFAHTPS]

That’s a real shame…I find the finish on our guitars pretty much flawless! But yeah that’s the great thing about going to a shop and trying out gear…different people like different things and that way you get to find out what works best for you

[@r.p.vanloon6403]

@@TSFAHTPS Hummmm... i am in doubt again. Visited a friend that recently bought a S7, and no problem what so ever with that one. So maybe they are not consistent and I just had bad luck playing a bad one. Anyway, I am gonna try another one, to see if you are right. This time I will go for the S7 2 gen in white. Hope that one will make me happy. If not I will switch to the Player Plus. I will let you know.

Haha...I'm with Gabor, I'd never choose that kinda 'fancy' top in that shade of blue. As for them sounding a tad 'darker', I thought they had a really harsh/bright/brittle top end. I guess it's hard to tell over KZbin compression and without any form of comparison. Odd you're reviewing these now... Gsus hasn't had any in stock for months (not that I've specifically been checking). I assume therefore that this is in support of pre order sales. 🤔 Not a fan of pre order at all. Whilst it may not be the fault of the retailer, there seem to be keen sales, yet customers left to wait due to a myriad of reasons/excuses of course beyond control of the retailer. Enjoyable review... Nicely done. 😎

Given you've been playing or hearing them, you'd definitely know how they sound. I was only listening on my phone...just chilling after a long day of work, so hadn't fired up the 'real' listening system, but was conscious of an unpleasant shrill sound I'd occasionally hear. A Fender comparison would be great, although you'd need to have an hss or you may have a S7 vintage just hanging round. Cheers. ✌️😎

Yes... I found the S7 Pickups to be harsh and bright too. I swapped them out because of this which increased the overall cost. I heard that the T7 pickups are also bright and harsh. I hope Sire revoice their Pickups in future models as I like the feel of the guitar apart from the stock pups.

Maybe you possibly got a better pickup voicing in your S7.

[@iliebocse4572]

So after so many hours of trial and error, I found quite a few defects with it and I'm considering returning it to be honest. so I was mega hyped by this guitar and everyone on the internet had only good things to say about it , I like how it sounds but for someone that is used to play an Ibanez S520 for almost 10 years, this guitar seems like a downgrade to be honest ..... where to start: - ah yea, the damn tremolo didn't fit unless I literally hammered it in with a rubber mallet because of a fabrication defect (i had looked inside the tremolo hole and it wasn't finished so a lot of metal is in there) - the action was too high and when I adjusted it a bit lower the frets started buzzing like hell - the backplate is not cut properly, I noticed this while re-stringing the guitar - scratchy frets, so while playing it and doing some good 'ol regular bends I immediately got cringed by the feel of starching strings over the frets ( i guess this will go away in time but it's horrible ) So all of these for me are kind of a deal-breaker, however I will take the guitar to a skilled luthier and let him give it a go at it and then play with it some more. I'm sorry to make this post into a rant but I'm extremely disappointed. Despite of all the above I do have some good things to say about the guitar: - it sounds awesome, the s-s-h combo makes it an incredible versatile instrument and I really enjoyed so far the sounds it came out of it (this is the main reason I decided to give it another swing and postpone the return of the guitar) - locking tuners - electronics are super responsive and I love it (volume/tone/switch are good quality) - the neck feels good - the overall design & visuals are great Conclusion: I got way too hyped for what it has to offer in terms of price/quality, at first contact I am disappointed but looking forward to test it more after I take it to my luthier and have him take a look of all the issues I'm having with it. Again this is my initial review of the guitar and I will follow up later.

[@TSFAHTPS]

Sorry to hear you had a bunch of problems with your - I have to honestly say that the guitars we received were pretty much flawless! Mind you...I am used to always setting up new guitars when they arrive as I always put heavier strings on them and I have a particular way of setting guitars up so I always play with the nut slots, the bridge and the truss rod - backplates always come off right away too.
