hey one big update for the 2022 S7 models is that beyond changing the pickup covers, controls and pick guard to ivory, they changed the bridge to a zebra and added the ability to split the coils on the humbucker using a push/push tone knob. Just received mine (in blue) two weeks ago. WORTH THE WAIT!! (4 months). Would love to see you do an updated video
I love this guy he gets down to the point and I agree with literally everything he said about sire infact I ordered the sire LP gold and black for trade for a fender stratocaster player even trade.i don't care about the name I want the quality I honestly don't really like stratocaster it's not as well built as the sire
They didn't just change the covers ;). The newer pickups are actually an upgrade. The mid-range on the newer pickups give you a little more punch/boost over the 1st Generations.
Nice and smooth playing John, great guitar too... I will soon be building my first guitar, this Larry Carlton will be my starting point in a number of guitar building areas…5.00 am greet from the Netherlands 🎸🎶💎👌
First of all Jon, your playing is so soulful and inspiring. Based on this, and several other positive reviews, I have ordered 4 Sire guitars. The H7 (Vintage Sunburst), L7 (Tobacco Sunburst), S7FM (Natural), and T7FM (Natural). They should arrive in 4 to 5 months and I can't wait. I am a left-handed player so finding quality guitars at reasonable prices can be a real challenge sometimes. Thanks for posting up such awesome content and reviews!
A few months before this vid, I ordered mine in blue. They are really beautiful guitars for the price. It took 7 months to get it, but the wait is worth it.
Thanks for your review. I love your playing. It creates a relaxing mood & is reminiscent of the 70’s in many ways, yet you can still tear it up with the best of them when you want
I buyed one today ... This is my clean guitar and i must say even the tremello is good after using it it stayed perfectly in tune .. Normally i only play gibson and GtR kind of guitars but i am happy that i switched .. I gave me inspiration
I have the Sire S7 V in vintage white with gold pickguard. It's absolutely beautiful. Great value at £499 and easily beat the Fenders and Squires I played it against.
Jon, You convinced me to buy this guitar. I just received it and I want to thank you very much. This guitar is wonderful.❤ I admire what you do. My regards. 🙏
WOW Jon! Love this jazzy intro. I think you sold this guitar before the review lol. Sire has indeed got a great guitar here. The price is very reasonable, and offers stiff competition to some of the high priced big name brands. Thanks for all you do Jon ... We appreciate it brother!
I have the Sire T7 Tele style. I am blown away by how great this instrument feels, sounds and plays. Sire did amazing with the Larry Carlton line!! Great review Jon. Thank you.
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Loved it so much I bought the Generation 2 S7 FM transparent Blue from Sweetwater with a pro setup. It's rapidly become my number one. The zebra pickups are phenomenal and the push/push pot really adds another level of great tone when splitting the humbucker. For my hands the neck actually feels as though it was custom made.
Jon, I've been following you for a while - and I want to say that your playing is fantastic !!!! I could just sit back and relax and not WORRY about anything, you're a GREAT guitarist!!!! I don't have a lot of money and on the fence between the T7FM and the S7FM..... decisions - decisions ........... Thanks again, Bro........
Love your playing and your reviews, Jon. This is a beautiful guitar and quite a nice price too. You always find super interesting guitars to review. Thank you!
Hi Jon I just order the same guitar your playing. I found one in Chicago, it will be here this Friday 9/16/22. I use to play guitar in high school, will be learning from beginning. Your playing is amazing, hope to get there someday.
Thank you for this review Jon! I'm close following the S7 over the last few months and had the opportunity to play one of the SSS "Vintage" models. It just blown me away and now I'm on the verge to get one.
Ordered the Sire S7FM Blue / with the coil split - two days ago. I suggest others do the same, they have gone up in price and will probably continue to do so. Cant wait :)
Love this video, beautiful playing. Sweetwater is getting a shipment mid April and I have mine pre-ordered since December, so I am really excited for it to arrive. Stay safe and keep rocking!
What an amazing instrument Jon. It’s a fair price for what you get. That bridge looks really solid. I’ve been curious about this brand for a while, especially the ES style hollow body. They look great too. Excellent as usual Jon - thanks 🙂👍
jeff beck to steve vai and everything in between. you makin me inspired too much i wish to be like you someday! very nice playing! the gears featured are just a bonus here - the music is the real treat!
Jon - it's been a while since I talked to you. I'm seriously looking into purchasing a guitar (Sire S7FM) that you are demonstrating and it seems like I'm going that way. The sound from all positions of the pick-ups are great, and of course I could listen to you play forever -- you're AWESOME man......Thank You and give a hug to your puppies........!!!!!
Just ordered the new model SIre S7 fm. This is my third Sire and love them all . Try the A4 plays and sounds as good as a $2k Taylor at 1/4 of the price. Also have a L7 . nice playing and sounding guitar.
Nice review, I ordered one of these guitars, hard to find! I needed to order it from France (living in Sweden) and I'll get it in a couple of days... Hope I enjoy it as much as you explained it... 😀
Hurray! You finally got a Sire! I knew you would like it. Notice the tuning pegs vary in height. That's what eliminates the need for a string tree. I hope you try out the T7 FM also and at least one of the A4 acoustics. Your price was off though. At Sweetwater they are $599 for the vintage and $659 for the FM. Such a deal! Thanks, Jon
Thanks for responding Jon. Sorry about the pricing mistake. I’m kinda brain dead. I always just thought it was the price in the US not the price in Singapore in US dollars. Duh…🤯 anyway, I’m glad you like the Sire.
Great review... Great playing. Been wanting one of these since they've announced it last year (or was it the year before) but they are not available in any of the music shops in Perth Australia.
Hi Jon, I just became a subscriber to your channel! I especially love your clean sounds. Very beautiful and sophisticated. My question is, what gear do you use to record and create this sound? Do you use a kemper, helix or something else to create it? I'm dying to know ;) Greets Nathan from Holland!
Always enjoy your reviews. Unfortunately Sire guitars are unavailable in the US for now. I was told probably July by sweetwater. So I bought a Jack Fowler Schecter . I'm a small guy and I like the thin C. I gave it a set up with hybrid 9's and it is so easy to play. I owned a schecter in the mid 80's , it was like a parts tele with strat neck.
Oh that lush reverb algorithm.....my cup of tea there in that opening. I wish my paralysis in right pinky and ring finger was a bit less numb as I could try and swell with volume knob. Hahah. I use foot pedal. I know I'm using the easy way. And now I'm very very dependant on my playing with one. Hahahah. Awesome review Jon!!!!!! Hello from Ga US with Roo.
At last you have reviewed a guitar that i bought last year. Sire have realy hit the nail on the head with these guitars, and they are a far better buy than any Fender Strat. It's one of the few guitars that i have never had to setup, it just plays as smooth as silk. If you are a S style guitar player, buy one you will have to pay a lot more to even come close to these. Thanks for your review Jonathan, will you be keeping this one?🙂
Great playing - I wish I could play one but they’re on back order here. I have a G&L S500 Tribute which is my #1 - prefer it over my Fender American standard for playability & tonal variety. Thinking about the Legacy HSS but this Sire really looks & sounds awesome. Your thoughts? 😊
Mine is on the way , after listening to you jam. However, reality hit when I realised I can’t play like you. I am really concerned about some saying the neck is too narrow or the top E slips on a pull-off. Update: mine arrived and within five minutes I had noticed fret buzz on the low E , high action, I am left handed and right hand volume and right hand tone meaning up is down and down is up. So I will send it back and see what happens. I worked in the wood industry so I know I could have got a Monday made guitar. Let’s wait and see but now i got to wait again.
Bought this guitar 3 weeks ago and I agree for the most part. The nut on mine was cut very badly, but Muziker sent me 3 different Tusq nuts of which one fitted more or less but good enough. The guitar is, as you said, REALLY nice. I am just fighting with a feedback problem when i play overdriven channels at live levels. I have the T7 as well which i find much more playable and easier to setup. The neck feels a little different, trem is the same and it has 2 x humbuckers of which the neck is incredibly well sounding. Try it !!!!!
@@IsaacLausell First of all the pickups. The neck seems to be the same but the S7, or at least my S7, is very difficult to set up compared to the T7. I had problems with the nut as you know, but since then i have tried to get the same low action as the T7 has. I have been setting up guitars for around 46 years so i am no stranger to the fact that not all guitars can be the way i want them. My S7 has a problem balancing the adjustment parameters - truss rod vs string heights, vs nut height vs fret alignment vs fretboard radius (for bends) In this case the Sire guitars are made in the same factory in Indonesia as most other guitars in this segment and i have and have had a LOT of guitars from this factory. So i expect the same level of variaty on the Sire guitars as on all the other guitar brands from the place. Apparently my S7 is a variant that i have to live with but the T7 is absolutely perfectly build with much more human attention to details in the building process… or maybe they were just lucky by coincidence 🤔
@@ksbkonto Thank for so much for your detailed response. I did not get you were going to say about the pickups, I think the message got cut off somehow. I am asking a bunch questions to folks that have played these guitars because I need to purchase an extra guitar to leave with my family abroad since hauling back and forth two guitars on a plane is getting tiresome and expensive. I have been looking at the Sire line and as much as I like the sound there are certain things that make it harder to decide. I work with a lot of jazz, fusion and chamber music. Through most of my career I have done my electric playing on a strat and in the last ten years I have incorporated an ES-135 a friend gave me. I tried the H7 and loved the sound and the materials but was uncertain about the neck, it is quite beefy which when playing stuff that requires large and fast stretches is not as comfortable. I looked into the strats and the T7 since strats and teles are like chameleons that you can have them do just about anything but that 9.5 radius sometimes is conducive to fretting out and other issues when you try to get a low action. Your comment about the T7 is interesting to me because it seems to be a healthy compromise between all these bags minus the rounder radius but then again on some guitars that is not so much of an issue.
Nice video. Your playing is incredible and you seem to be getting better if that is possible. Now for that guitar, I’m waiting for them to come in, but I also like the Vantage S7 with the SSS configuration. Have you had any thoughts on that guitar?
Très bonne démonstration, une des plus belles que j'ai pu voir sur youtube. Le rapport qualité prix est vraiment excellent, et peut même permettre de se faire un avion de chasse, en mettant des micros plus à son goût (ou pas.) Moi j'y mettrais bien un kit emg dg20. Je pense que c'est la même qualité qu'une player séries Fender, mais pour 200 euros de moins.

Too bad that the reviews don't say that even if you buy it you won't play as awesome as this gentleman.
You're amazingly good Jon!

This is going to make me pull the trigger and buy one - the Sire sounds just fantastic.
Go for it ✌️❤️
never believe yt influencers!
George...you wont be disappointed. The S7 is a great feeling and playing guitar.
Love the sound of these pickups! The neck alone is worth the price of the guitar plus too.

I like my S7. I adapted them a bit to the Suhr guitars and installed a Suhr DA, swapped Gotoh locking tuners and a Wilkonson tremolo
Nice ✌️❤️
I really like the smoky tones you got out of those pickups, Jon. The roasted maple neck fits that vibe. Thank you!
Glad you liked the video ✌️❤️
Great DEMO!! Yes, that is a very nice guitar with killer tone.
Thank you ✌️❤️
Just ordered the exact guitar from Thomann, incredible playing too!!!

Sire makes beautiful guitars ....I'm thoroughly convinced !
I agree!
Absolutely Jude but the real magic is in how good these pickups truly are! Very impressed.
Nice review. I have been thinking of getting one and you made up my mind. I will let you know if I get one.
Please do!✌💚
Picking up one of these today after all the rave reviews for the price point. That flame maple neck is so sexy. Great playing too brother

Je pense que c'est la même qualité qu'une player séries Fender, mais pour 200 euros de moins.
Merci~✌️❤️
