Sire Larry Carlton S7V Antique White Electric Guitar

I sold a Player Plus strat after two pickup changes and still not getting the tone I wanted (expected). With the money I bought the Sire S7v. The build quality I would say is on a part with the much more expensive Fender, but the pickups are just miles better, strat-like but not thin and weak and twangy, with a rich rounded bass, and the tremolo unit is ten times better than the Fender with its stupid wobbly screw-in arm. All five switch positions are really usable including the single coil bridge, which has its own dedicated tone control, and I just think it sounds immense clean and overdriven. When you play the Sire unplugged you can tell straight away that it is going to be good - the strings just ring out and you can kind of hear the 'clean' tone it will have when plugged in, so I think for a start they have got the basics - the woods and build - just right. It is everything I hoped the Fender would be, at exactly half the price (at the prices I paid anyway). The only thing I don't like is that it shipped with 10 gauge strings (actually they feel a bit thicker to me, almost like rope!) but if the only thing there is to complain about is the strings then I think Sire have a real winner here. My takeaway from this is: buy the guitar, not the brand.

De beste stratocaster die Fender niet heeft gemaakt.
1.de pickups zijn net zo goed als David Gilmours rode strat.
2.tremelo van Wilkinson en ten 3de het hout in deze prijsklasse
Is super,alderbody en geroosterde Maple nek en fretboard.
Blinde aanschaf voor mensen die zich geen Fender level strat
Kunnen veroorloven.

Fantastische gitaar, kocht deze als b-stock en zeer tevreden mee.

"Klassiek" stratocaster geluid met goede single-single-single (SSS) pick-ups.

Freds zijn ook mooi afgewerkt met afgeronde randen.

Blijft mooi in tune, ook met het gebruik van de tremolo.
