I absolutely love my Sire T7FM. I've had it for about 6 months and I must say this is the best guitar that I own. I have Gibson, Fender, Epiphone, Ibanez, etc, but this has them all beat. I love the way it feels, plays, and sounds. It is a fantastic value.
I have 2 Sires (T7 and L7) the best part about these guitars is they play every bit as good as my Fenders and I'm not as worried about banging up my $2k guitars at a dive bar. Absolute work horse guitars.
I've got an S7 here that I'll be shooting a video on soon and that's also a killer guitar. I agree with you 100%, these guitars play fantastic and they're good enough to take out to gig with, but not too expensive that you'd worry about anything happening to them. Great working guitars!
If you could only keep the T7 or the L7 which would you choose? I've been lusting over the L7 for months already but just saw the T7 and although I've always wanted a Les Paul (or that style guitar) and have always considered myself more Gibson than Fender, this T7 does look very tempting.
@@StormofCrows Since my band tends to play heavier stuff, if I had to pick one, it would be the L7 since it has humbuckers. The L7 would be perfect if it had coil splitting. I may upgrade the electronics in my L7 to add that. But for now, I still grab my T7 when I need those tele tones or single coil sounds. If I have a gig and I only take my T7, I have to dedicate a tube screamer first in my chain to boost the signal for most of our set.
@@Sea_Jay Thanks. I think I'm still leaning towards the L7, though that coil split is what made me hesitate. Now I just need a way to justify actually buying it. I don't think ordering it and then saying "I don't know anything about it, it just turned up!" to my wife is going to work.
I like the way they've used the 5 way to add one split coil position that uses both pickups and one that's just the neck single coil. It's a really cool way to do it!
Thank you for this. Phillip recent did a video on DiMarzio’s latest pickup and I’m curious how this guitar would sound with the Distort’tron on the bridge and their Paf’tron on the neck. Not sure how difficult it would be to swap out the pickups but I might give it a go when I get my T7FM blue leftie next Feb when it gets built. Fingers crossed that I don’t feel the need to swap them but those DiMarsio pups sound killer.
I didn't know it was the same factory, that's interesting. I guess that's just down to what the brand want and also the sheer volume of guitars they order. Harley Benton order thousands and thousands at a time which is how they can offer premium hardware/pickups at such insane prices. Sire possibly don't order to the same volume.
It's NOT the same factory, you're very uninformed! Sire has their own factory in Indonesia which the owner required for production, QA and QC. You need to check your facts it is NOT the same as HB! HB is produced in several factories NONE of which are Sire's Indonesia location! You should stick to fashion, your guitar info is pathetically uniformed.
Sire Guitar Factory's Harley Benton Presence Based on the provided search results, there is no direct evidence to suggest that Sire Guitar Factory produces Harley Benton guitars. Harley Benton is a brand owned by Musikhaus Thomann, a large online retailer in Germany, and their guitars are manufactured in around 20 factories in China, Indonesia, and Vietnam. Sire Guitar Factory, on the other hand, is mentioned as the manufacturer of signature guitars for Marcus Miller and Larry Carlton. While Sire does produce high-end guitars, there is no indication that they are involved in producing Harley Benton guitars. It’s worth noting that Harley Benton’s business model focuses on providing affordable guitars by buying directly from factories and eliminating middlemen, whereas Sire appears to cater to a higher-end market with signature models. The two brands operate independently, and there is no overlap in their production or distribution channels. In summary, based on the available information, Sire Guitar Factory does not produce Harley Benton guitars.
S7 my first and now a H7V. Both built better than the guitars they were built to compete against. Sound better, play better and built better with appointments you don't find on other guitars because mfgs want to stay in the 1950's. For example S7, staggered tuners not some stupid String Tree. Goodbye Fender, no more scratchy, skin tearing frets the feel like a crush and run driveway!

Bought mine a month ago. Never thought a guitar like that was possible for the price range.
The value for money that Sire are offering is insane! They play and feel well above their price tag
the in between positions sound so cool with overdrive, almost reminds me of some of the various Red Special clones

I am a big fan of your channel.
Keep making videos and I'll keep watching them.
Thank you so much! That’s so kind of you! I really appreciate you watching and I’m glad you enjoy the videos 😃

What is the weight like on these? It seems very bright for HH
Alguien ,me pide decir sin realmente es buena guitarra
the blue looks more turquoise/greenish in person which I'm a big fan of.
It's definitely got a slight green vibe about it in some lights! I'm a fan of the colour!
Interesting. Same factory as Harley Benton and similar hardware, but HB has stainless steel frets and a Wilkinson trim system.
