I got mine two months ago, it's ridicolously good for the money I paid. It's a bit heavier than I aspect but I really love the tone. Neck is great: finish and shape are gorgeous. I was looking for a Schecter PT Nuys but I'm happy I landed on Sire's world. Good job man

Brilliant review, the sort of detail a player wants to know ... no bullshit. Amazing playing ... the best. Have one of these guitars ... I'm so in love with it, just want to play it all the time AND it's a beautiful instrument. Have a '69 Gibson 335 (also beautiful in it's own way) but always pick the T7 off the wall to play! Thanks for the review so calm and thoughtful.

I always felt guitars that are lighter sound better. Heft might make it feel more durable or just built better but a lot of wood now is young, heavy. Guitar looks nice, wish they made ss frets

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Not entirely true..from my experience, the opposite is true.

[@tonyvector5022]

Great intro as always Jon ... Your playing is always inspiring! This Sire T7 FM is a nice looking guitar and has the pickups to produce some sweet tones. Its versatility makes it really attractive and the price imho is not prohibitive to beginners who want a better guitar. Thanks for the very informative review Jon!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Thank you ✌️❤️

[@judeworth938]

Think I'm done with all the research I've done the last few months regarding T style (or even S style) affordable guitars...the Sire T7 or T7FM is the nicest and best deal. Between the roasted maple neck, the rolled fret edges, the locking tuners, and bone nut... It surpasses any T style I have seen or heard in the price range. It's less expensive than the Fender Player Tele which has a synthetic nut, and no locking tuners. Many of the T7 reviews I have watched, pretty much all were about 7lbs+ Maybe the T7FM's are a bit more... Anyway, I do believe I'm sold ! 😉

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Looks like it✌️❤️

I haven’t been back to Singapore in some time but I had a great time when I was last there with my airline. Great playing and great review. I wish I could play a quarter as good as you do. The reviews are in on this guitar and I for one am replacing my Squire Strat for an S7….when available?…..It’s a logical step up for a player like me from the Squire which has served me well. Someday if I ever feel that my playing has improved to the point of another upgrade maybe I’ll buy a genuine article.

[@ezymarquez5521]

Tried this guitar in store and it plays exactly how you say - feels amazing in hand, playability is so smooth with the rolled edges and 9.5inch radius. Did you or anyone else here have any issues with the pick up selector being “sticky” or jittery when moving to other positions?

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

✌️❤️

[@tomdameek]

This is a beauty and has a similar sweet tone to my G&L legacy Asat deluxe. The single coils are fine but it really shines in humbucker modes just like the sire. The neck on the Sire is nicer and the body finish is amazing. They have put together something amazing for a great price. Cheers Jon😊😊😊👍👍

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Yes indeed they have✌️❤️

Sweet improv . . . always making the changes! I love your demos of the Sire, S7, T7 & H7. I have two of these, in part due to your masterful demos. I have an H7 on order . . . it's actually the one I wanted to get most of all, but the other two became available at an excellent price. For me, the neck is the key . . . and the Sire's playability is incredible. Keep making these great demos and have a wonderful, blessed Christmas!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Thank you ✌️❤️

[@user-co1jj9cf5r]

Hi Jon, It would be interesting if you could compare this Sire against the Harley Benton Fusion-T HH HT Roasted FBLB that you changed the pick ups and the bridge, as the PU change on the HB brings the HB closer in price to the Sire!! ( Obviously minus the cost of Vega tram that you installed on the HB). Thanks Mark

[@jmproductions59]

Beautiful playing and sound Jon (it's not too loud ;-)) You talked a little about it but do you think the FM T7 can get close to the vintage single coil pickup Telecaster? (or even the non-FM T7) The FM sounds fairly thin in comparison to the higher output settings. I wonder if boosting the volume helps? Of course , I want the humbucker sounds and all :-)

Oh yes..adding a booster will help..

[@norseman61]

I’ve got the “non-FM” T7 on order, but was totally convinced at one point that the T7 FM was going to be the one for me. Without a “Tele” in my collection, I decided to go more traditional. Also, I couldn’t understand why Sire would leave a single-coil bridge pup option out of the 5-way switch settings… especially with coil-splitting!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

lol...who knows...✌♥

[@danielraju4458]

Neck single coils are predominantly used by Jazz guitarists in the Joe Pass style of playing. Single coil bridge would perhaps be way too thin and tinny to consider as a position.

[@norseman61]

@@danielraju4458 True, and although a lot of jazz players do like Teles, the vast majority of Tele players are looking for that single-coil "twang" that is the Tele's signature sound. I guess if someome wants the twang, they can order the single-coil version.... like I did. Just got it delivered last week (7 months from Sweetwater), and it is FLAWLESS!

[@danielraju4458]

@@norseman61 I concur. But alas! The wisdom of limited choices and the law of diminishing returns beckons us to choose the best combinations to fit a wider palette of musical tastes. The single neck has a warmer sound and fits many styles not exclusive only to jazz. Glad you could find the right combination of pickups for your style of playing!

Hey Jon! Great playing as usual! I've been lusting this guitar for some time now. So I keep coming back to this gear porn video.🤣🙂I was just curious if you tracked the harmony separately, or if you used a harmonizing effect. P.S. The guitar is almost in reach. I'm going to sacrifice my MIM Player Series Strat to get it. Based on the sound samples you supplied, I think I can get most, if not all of tones I need out of it. (did I mention GREAT PLAYING?!) I'm not that good, but I love guitar and the sound of it. But I'm primarily interested in the neck that I've been seeing hearing so much about. Also, I think I'm more of a Tele guy than a Strat guy. While I agree that the humbucker tones are creamy, I don't think the coil split is a negative feature if you want those Tele sounds. Last, but certainly not least, it looks gorgeous!! Can you let us know what your signal chain was for this video? That reverb is gorgeous too.
