Waiting for lefty restocks!

[@harrywebster1500]

Sire are doing loads for us lefthanded players. Been looking out for a decent J style affordable guitar for a while, and you've either got a choice of a Harley Benton or a Fender American Pro for just short of 2k. Nice that theres something middle of the road for us lefties, after Fender has failed us for so long!

I love Sire guitars and currently own three guitars and a bass from that brand. I would have loved to buy them from Andertons, but since I live in France, the costs made a big difference. Let's break it down: the conversion between pounds and euros, along with taxes and shipping, adds up. For example, the new T7 TV is priced at €589 in France (about £496) with free shipping. If I were to purchase it from Andertons, it would cost £529 (€629), plus shipping and import duties/taxes. In 2022, I bought three Tone City pedals from Andertons, including the amazing Durple, for £87 plus £13 shipping and €37 in import taxes, bringing the total to £131 (€155). Except for the Durple (which is exclusive to Andertons), I could have paid just €39 per pedal with free shipping in France. I would love to buy more from Andertons because of the incredible value you bring with your KZbin channel and other social media content. However, I simply can’t justify paying 20-30% more than I would in France. So, my question is: When will you open an Andertons shop in Europe? Cheers from across the Channel

[@andsoistopped]

Sire is coming for Squire.

[@jtkane317]

Squier is a little more adventurous with some of their paranormal and baritone offerings. Also wider offering of offset guitars. With that being said I like the Sire guitars.

[@briansmith6862]

I like Sire: I have a Sire Jazz bass, but I think they could have pushed the boat out a bit more with this Jazzmaster to include all the switching options of the original. As it is, it's no different to a Harley Benton, and for a little more money they could differentiate themselves from HB.

[@worthmoremusic]

too late...in my opinion they already have !

[@leftymike5625]

How about a video on both of your pedal boards. Thanks

[@Jib_]

oh yes please!

[@teachscott]

Lee looks off to the side after the sour note! LOVE IT!!!!

[@southernpanda33]

Thank you for finally listing the left handed models in the video, even though I already saw these at Sweetwater and almost bought one. 😅

[@graysenm1320]

Loved that into jam. Those guitars look and sound awesome regardless of price

[@mendamp1715]

I recently got a 335 style Sire guitar with P90s, fantastic guitar! And it’s a Lefty…

[@slawsonscot]

Love the neck/fretboard on that P90 T7M 👍

[@Adriano_leal]

I have a sire bass and it is amazing for the price. Best playing instrument I ever had

[@davidf2281]

Fantabulous intro from Pete there

[@NikkoAus]

Great intro Captain, and you too Pete 😊. I’ve been watching The Captains Privates lessons with Justin lately from several years ago and Lee you have come so far, it’s fantastic to see how you’ve improved, maybe there’s hope for me yet!

[@dasninjastix]

That blue J is pretty sweet, love the inlays on the Rosewood.

[@tjbitt65]

Love my Sire L7V. Looking at the J5. You guys need to make a playlist of all your demo jams!!☮

[@tenkarabadger5244]

Holy Phish jams. Didn’t see that coming.

[@eliaslopez2587]

Finally a video on this guitars🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@stevenwayne]

Love my J5! I was able to get an early release of this model and the headstock actually shows “J7”

[@jonathancalhoun4853]

They look like great guitars. I’d been waiting for the J5 to finally be released but will probably wait awhile since I just got the Squier Paranormal Offset Telecaster SJ.

[@richardfoskett8903]

“There’s only so many tones you can get out of a guitar like this”…? I thought Pete was going to slap you! 😂😂😂

[@gdawgs101]

Yes! Ever since I saw the announcement for the J series a couple months ago, I've been waiting for the reviews to go out. That J5 seems to blow everything else out of the water specs wise for a J type at this price point. Definitely seems to beat anything priced $1000 or less in Fender's range

[@oskarir5215]

The new dark fretboards with the line inlays look great! If only u could get them on the s7...

[@briandevitt6903]

I would love that Tele in the green colour of the J.

[@user-ek9nx2jn7r]

They all sound awesome!

[@richgrothaus5971]

Bravo Lee, great intro.

[@TRtribal]

I have the P5R 5 string bass and it's amazing - pre-ordered the new "acoustic" one. Can't wait for that to show up. Their guitars are fantastic, especially for a cost that brings all of the features at a price Fender can't come close to touching. The old Mexi and Japanese lines were at least a middle of the road option in the past, but the Player series is too expensive for what you get, and the Pro series is astronomical. When companies are dropping guitars with roasted maple, ebony, stainless frets, and quality finishes it's just harder and harder to justify spending more than $500 on a guitar or bass.

[@nellayema2455]

Lee's intro lead was killer! Remember Lee, as Chet Atkins said, "All mistakes are intentional." These look pretty cool. Does anyone know if that Goeldo Jazzmaster bridge can lock like an "F" style bridge can?

[@joesretrostuff]

I was genuinely enjoying that first solo of the captain’s, never mind about the bum note haha

[@myguitarsandme]

I can't deny that the colour of the J5 that Lee was playing is gorgeous, but I don't see it on the website. (Champagne Gold Metallic) Once again, the GAS is real! I agree with you about the reveal binding on the T7TM. I think a cream binding would look nicer, but it still looks pretty good. I suspect having a different process just for that guitar wouldn't be cost effective. It's a pity the T7TV isn't available in See Through Red. I'm not sold on the P90s in that guitar. The neck pickup sounded a little too dark for my liking. P.S. The reveal binding looks great with the See Through Red. Did I mention the See Through Red would be nice on the T7TV?

[@andertons]

I don’t see that colour on our site either!! Will investigate in the morning & get it added if we’ve missed it

[@SlightlyTechnical]

these guitars sound excellent , i need to play one to see if like how it feels

[@gpwhughes]

Teasing us, with a bass sat right there.

[@chrstphbch]

Göldo and Duesenberg are related, so the whammy bar probably feels like a Les Trem or Vibrola from Duesenberg.

[@Neilajackson]

I was thinking they looked very similar

[@KoaCharvel]

Those look stunning

[@bobgamble8204]

I like how jazzmaster style sound, but I cannot get past the design, offsets like that just make my eyes itch. Which is why there is variety out there after all!

[@AlJohnsGuitar]

That p-90 sounds like CCR in a box!

[@1man1guitarletsgo]

The word Lee's hunting for at 25:23 is "arris".

[@kingstumble]

I like these. Just a point on the lack of string trees. I have a Sire S3(which I think is the best bargain out there) and that doesn't have string trees either, nor does it have staggered tuners. Shouldn't work but somehow it does.

[@gdawgs101]

I'd guess it probably has something to do with the way the neck pocket is angled. It may be cut to act as somewhat of a natural shim

[@MichaelIrons-d5v]

that's a great axe Pete played out on, my type of axe , loved the vid guys.

[@maxswp]

Did they ever review the squier j mascis jazzmaster

Sire over Squier any day, every day !

[@sebbo1496]

i hope they start experimenting with different headstock designs in the coming generations. i know it's a superficial thing and it's not THAT bad but man. it's so odd aesthetically

[@Barrowium]

0:45 - 0:48 its okay lee, still better than I can do :P

[@nineteenninetyfive]

One thing i have found is that there are all these companies that offer higher specs for cheaper money and try and encourage you to not buy what you actually want, which in this case is a Fender. My experience is that you should buy the real thing because you will regret it if you don't.

[@christopheranderson2100]

Squier Affinity Jaguar FTW.

[@quiksilver78]

is the JS regular sized J-type body? Only asking because brands like Harley Benton purposefully make the body 10% smaller (or maybe 20%)

[@scottbaker1991]

How much do the super thin sire acoustic 6 string guitars weigh?

[@eearts]

Lady Gaga is a man baby! So is Taylor Swift 😮 Great review guys! They sound great 👍

[@adiohead]

[@alexlubinski7795]

Are these using 1k pots like typical Jazzmaster lead circuits?

[@SB-ht6kf]

Pete is right, the J3 is more appealing than J5 as it has block saddles and a 2 point trem...where as the J5 has clones of the vintage Jazzmaster saddles/bridge which are very problematic. Will take the J3 all day, with the $200 savings between the two just upgrade the pups if not happy.

[@markmullins2756]

The pickup hight

[@ElTele]

I think Fender (and Gibson) should be very worried these days, there are some incredible alternatives, at all price points, and that includes Squier and Epiphone. Hard to justify spending the big bucks on the big names..

[@tavishurn2585]

I used to think it was amazing that guitars at this price point had bone nuts. Then I went vegan and all I can do is drool! 😭

[@bukwok]

the p90 tele one just way too hot, sounds not normal, is some kind of push/pull function stuff on guitar..? sounds not like tele at all.

[@d.a.3003]

I wonder way they don't make a normal T7 with a maple neck like that. The guitars are very good, but I really don't like how their roasted maple necks look. Too dark and it doesn't match the body colors. The neck on the T7TV looks fantastic instead!

[@akwamarsunzal]

Those semis have a superb tone! The natural looks like a piece of furniture, not in a good way

[@sirgaryo]

Every time there’s “new” models from Sire it just means all of the other models have gone up in price by £100 or £200 !!! lol 😂 some of the prices have tripled in the last couple of years 😖

[@jereltoliver6668]

Why are these companies all ways using body shapes that are so boring?

[@kingstumble]

Er...because they are popular?

[@sagittated]

Stop ripping off Fender. Start making your own designs. There's loads of luthiers out there making guitars with different shapes and designs. Sire makes quality stuff, and it's time to be a big boy company that doesn't just ride the popularity of Fender's models and Fender's years of work.

PRS is a Gibson copy with a bit of its own thing. And if they have their own designs they usually charge out the butt. So if you're going to make affordable guitars you need to make ones that you know will sell
