STILL GOT THE BLUES - Larry Carlton H7 Review

[@kostasG1711]

This thing is now mine! Many thanks and Love to Leslie and Henning.❤

[@fritsvanzanten3573]

I just thought, someone might have a guitar before it is reviewed. Isn't that weird? The very one.

[@tommywallberg]

I have several guitars and american strat and Gibson les Paul standard 1977etc,, this H7 is my favorite

[@garthosborn8400]

Nice work showing a variety of tones. I really like the sound with both pickups selected.

[@arnigrittar4959]

Great video again Henning. Now waiting for the T7 😉 Cheers Arnd

[@robertdonosobuchner3129]

It's a really nice guitar. It sounds good, especially with the victory amp sheriff. I don't like the color that much... I really like the Sire guitars, but I tryed out the tele from Sire in antique white and this was a beautiful guitar and very special to me because of the sounds of this guitar for blues, rock and metal. 🙃🤘

[@spkay31]

Great video Eitsch! Good coverage of tones and styles through your plethora of great amps. Yeah that Victory did sound like a match made in heaven. Great budget 335 clone!

[@spinelldete]

Interestingly they seemed to have switched from 40 mm to 43 mm nut width. Now I will have a closer look at this thing ...

[@maciejpe779]

Yes, they switch, without any explanation.

[@tobymearing8407]

hilarious and informative is why i come here - great vid

[@davidcudlip6587]

You need to review the Sire H7V model with the P90 pickups.

Im November 2020 habe ich bei Thomann den SIRE Marcus Miller V7 Bass gekauft. Ich war begeistert von dem Instrument: top verarbeitet und perfekt eingestellt und das bei einem Preis von nur 459€! Von der Qualität mehr als beeindruckt habe ich anschließend im Mai 2021 die SIRE Larry Carlton H7 Gitarre (dieselbe wie im Video) um 598€ bei Thomann gekauft....dieses Mal dann die komplette Enttäuschung: die Bundstäbchen glichen einer Buckelpiste und dementsprechend haben die Saiten gescheppert....in diesem Zustand war sie unbrauchbar! Ich musste noch um die 200€ investieren, damit die Gitarre so war wie sie nach einer Qualitätskontrolle sein sollte. Soundtechnisch und optisch aber ist die H7 fein, das schmale Griffbrett (Sattelbreite: 40 mm) ist wohl nicht jedermanns Sache, die aktuellen H7 Gitarren haben aber schon 43mm Sattelbreite.

[@davidhay33]

I've had mine for two years. Great guitar but I found the neck quite narrow at the nut and the usual tuning problem with G and D string. Having owned a 335 I had those problems also.I guess you just have to learn to live with it.

[@jurajcagan5874]

I have done some research...they made H7s with 40mm nut in the past, but the new H7 models (like tje model in this video) come with 43mm nut. Maybe they took the neck from H7V model (P90s model), which had 43mm nut from beginning. Just wondering, how thick is the neck of the new H7 model, hopefully it is still chunky enough for me, I hate thin (Epiphone-ish) necks...

[@pejoarda772]

I have one and if you know how to set up a guitar including filing the nut slots proper she doesn't ever go out of tune on me and I wail it

[@davidcudlip6587]

Have a new nut cut. Maybe you can widen the string spacing a wee bit? I've done it on older Martin D-18's and 28's.

[@robertclinger7351]

Please try the Eastman T486.

[@martinopinto6323]

Your amps all sound so beautiful ❤️

[@GlenCraytonJr]

My wife just bought me an Gibson es 335 satin red. Honestly, surprisingly I wasn’t impressed. Definitely needs some more quality strings. For a $3500 price tag with tax, I thought it would be amazing right out the box. And the one I bought from guitar center I would say is entry level. I remember playing a sire H7 in guitar center a while back and remembering it sounded pretty darn good! I’m still doing my comparison but think I will go with the Sire. Unless I do the higher price Es 335 that starts off around $3600 without tax

[@EytschPi42]

If you want a high end 335, go with Heritage... they know how how to build them!

[@vaughnwebbermusic]

The videography is unmatched

[@kicsisziszi]

I would have to hear it with orange rockerverb because I can imagine this guitar in a dirty rock and roll context.

[@raytorvalds3699]

Loved seeing the dogs play at the end. I have yet to play a Sire and I probably shouldn't. I have enough guitars as is.... right? I keep hearing good things about them, though. Edit: actually, I don't. I still need a Tele.

[@mt-nv4jd]

I would like this except for the shiny blingy goopy plasticy finish. Did say shiny?

[@rick.enbacker]

Dear Henning! Have you ever tried the Steve Stevens Knaggs? What do you think of Steve? Could you review that guitar, please?? Thank you 🙂

[@EytschPi42]

I would love to review this, but as far as I know Knaggs doesn’t send out guitars for review.

[@niclastname]

Where were the Revv generator high gain tones! 😆

[@AGOY1971]

Hi, Henning! This Sire or Stanford thinline 35? What do you preferer? Thanks!

[@EytschPi42]

Stanford

[@RusticSpirit]

Great guitar. Love mine!

[@briandevitt6903]

Decent guitar for the money. I dont own a Sire, would like to try one though. I bought an Epiphone 335, the "Inspired by Gibson" versions that came out about two years ago. It has a terrible fret job, uneven frets and a dose of fret sprout for good measure. It needed a lot of work to get in playable.

[@pejoarda772]

The Epiphones are trash next to this trust me😂

[@gktde9874]

Mensch Henning, Det is ja Dufte! Echt Knorke von dir. 👍

[@Moselblues]

Only for seeing Henning playing Wonderwall was worth watching the video.

I was working, i had a flat tire, my train was delayed my flight was cancelled i had to rent a rickshaw and pull myself to ferry and and and all the excuses Jake Blues gave carrie fisher

[@Scottuz]

I bought a Sire T3 during Black Friday Sale from Andertons, for what seemed a Great Price, and It came, and I opened it to Find No Gigbag!? Yet every single video I watched, Bar None, reviewing the T3, remarked how "Nice" the Gigbag was Anyway, though, that's why it was so Cheap, No Gigbag with this one maybe?, inspecting the Guitar, and all the High points were there? Rosewood Fingerboard, Fret end treatment, rolled edges, all really good, BUT, the neck pocket, looked badly seated, gaps all round so, I took off the Neck to see why, and was Shocked at there being no work done to the Neck pocket at all, zero work? when i say Zero work, I mean Zero work, Half the pocket was covered in wrinkled Paint, the other Half, was Un-sanded wood!!! Rough, unfinished, wood. No sanding what so ever, had been done, and a halfway line of Paint, all wrinkled, and lumpy, lifting the Neck up. It would seem they concentrate all the craftwork on the neck, and don't finish, or prepare the Body carefully to keep down costs But to not sand, and flatten the pocket, is criminal? the neck had a terrible contact with the body, until it was sanded and scraped After I'd refitted the neck properly, the action was too low, but it allowed me to raise the saddles, removing the Sharp Grub screws from digging into my hand, like they had been.

[@kennethdarlington]

One famous guy, while testing where is the tone in electric guitar, in one test put wrinkled plastic package material between neck and body. Sounded the same)

[@fritsvanzanten3573]

@@kennethdarlington there even is a guy testing string with no wood (no body) at all. Sounded the same.

[@fritsvanzanten3573]

I believe the number is an indication of the quality class: 7>5>3

[@PooNinja]

Are cyberdeals for everyone or just bots and borgs? If only I could read!

[@fritsvanzanten3573]

And now a similar question regarding Black Friday deals?

[@PooNinja]

@@fritsvanzanten3573 oooh 😮 😂

[@umbertoyltp]

That beats fixing flaws of a cheaper guitar.

[@TexasBlues-123]

Except for the fact that Larry Carlton played one, I wouldn't be looking at them. They look like an elephant on a pogo stick.

[@matcaster]

could you please tune your guitar for once 🤣?

[@EytschPi42]

I do… and do it in the videos as well
