It took me like over 15 years to shift from my trusty Gibby SG (p90s) to a S styled guitar. I finally bit the bullet and got the S7 Sire from Andertons. Blown away by these quality guitars. The neck is truly in a different league. The tones are just superb. I think these guitars will be collectors items one day
In March 2020, I was looking for a Sire P7 2nd gen bass, 5 string, left hand. I figured it would take me a minimum of 6 months, more likely 12, to find it. Andertons had a bunch in stock, including not one but TWO in my first choice of colour. I ordered it online and it was shipped to my door in Canada within 72 hours of my first contact with the shop (and just in time for the first lockdown). Total cost with import duties was just a bit more than if I had found it in North America (which I couldn't!!!). Best online purchase experience I've ever had, and the bass is a joy to play. Big thanks to Michael Jimenez-Alvarez who made things happen on the Andertons side. These Sire guitars look and sound great also. Guess I'll have to check your online inventory again ...
Honestly, each time I picked up a Sire in my time working at Andertons, I was amazed at the quality for the price. The fret work is what stood out the most. Great guitars.
9:51 I absolutely love that these two are genuinely impressed by each others playing. You can see the Captain’s facial expression change when Pete turns on some gain like, “Where’s he going with this?!” Then it’s like “Wow, that riff sounds great!” I love the realness of this channel. You guys rock, literally.
My brand new S7 FM in natural finish arrived 5 minutes ago from Andertons. Wow....just wow! It is absolutely beautiful. The finish is flawless. Ordered yesterday morning from Andertons site and arrived at 2:30 pm next day. Thank you Lee and team, just love what you're doing in the music industry. Namaste x
My main browser page has been your Sire S7 Vintage in black from 3 months on. Every time I start my browser, it checks for that guitar being in stock.... Now that I finally got to listen to it at Pete's hands it surpassed my expectations... Great video guys... Love those jams
I just acquired a T7 fm in blue that’s had EMGs installed and it is absolutely awesome, the build quality is as lots of people have commented, like a guitar you’d expect to cost a lot lot more, and the parts especially the trem and the locking staggered tuners are very high quality. An S7 is on my horizon in the future
It's amazing what we as consumers have available to us for say 800.00 and below. The brands, styles, features are just amazing. The whole Epiphone line, Fender player, Squier CV, Sire just to name the biggies so many options. We are in a golden era of options for the home player
@@IridiumZero as I included Fender player series I used 800 just as a top end price for what I would call affordable. Most epiphones are 600 or less most being around 500. I think the new bb king lucille is 800 but has alot of upgraded features.
@@IridiumZero ummm they are? You can still get all those you mentioned for under 200$… he’s making a point that the mid/High end range of entry brands and the low end of the luxury brands are a better value with more options than ever before .. and he’s not even close to wrong
I have a sire bass, which I love. Then got an H7, and the quality is amazing. I've played MANY guitars over the last almost 40 years and I can't think of a manufacturer that offers this level of value. Totally recommended.
Heyy there is actually a hum splitter in S7 , if you press the tone knob it pops up splitting the coil and if you press it again it goes back to being a humbucker.
I learn soooo much watching the channel even though I’m in the US. Have been researching, learning and trying to decide on my first learning guitar and was decided on a Squier. But for a few extra dollars I’m going to get a Sire Strat. It makes much more sense. THANK YOU, Lee Anderton, for your amazing business and channel. And definitely to the Dane with more gain as well.
I've been following Andertons and the Captain since their days of old and yesterday I finally made my first purchase with Andertons (I'm in the US) ... a Sire guitar! I look forward to seeing how it turns out 😊. Thanks for the consistent quality content Cap and Pete 🙏
outstanding video, already have the version of the HSS lefthanded from Andertons, a superb guitar for the money, seriously now considering the T7 or 335 version of the sire guitars , brilliant business by Andertons, keep up the good work.
Have L7 white one on my own. Looks beautiful, sounds great. Absolutely recommendable. I love it so much so I don't need Epiphone Les Paul Custom anymore, sold it. Hope I could get H7 and T7 one day. Great Video of course!👍
After having my Sire acoustic for well over a year (closer to 18 months - to get rid of Covid Blues!), ANDERTONS! You've made me gone & done it - AGAIN! SImply could not resist, as it's always futile. - Now I need to prepare a hiding spot. Kids! Need I say more?
@@El-Scorcho Good choices there. For a shootout, Ibanez, Gretsch and D'Angelico (just about) have stuff in roughly the same price range. If I were putting money on it, I'd guess the Epi 335 would win, but not by much.
Happy Holidays Boys!!! I thank you for the countless back hours we don't see and I imagine few are actually aware of. Your work is apparent in the quality of video you produce. CONGRATS to the ENTIRE PRODUCTION CREW for another phenomenal year!!! I truly mean this!!! The holidays are not what I had hoped this year and you guys help me pull through it. Your banter and apparent friendship are priceless to me and I'll see you in your next installment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Got a Gold top Les paul Sire from you guys. Apart from the strings being rusty which is a minor blip as I always change strings anyway the guitar itself is really very good especially at the price point. I have some high end guitars such as Gordon Smith, PRS, Gretsch, and I would say my Sire can live with those guitars. I am so impressed actually I am strongly considering a Tele type Sire. My L7 is the best guitar I have ever played under £500. I really like their ethic about building themselves and not over subscribing themselves as this is the reason their guitars are so good. I hope they keep to this policy as it very much works.
I’ve just bought the Strat style one from your emporium. I was a bit doubtful of the shape but I’m actually loving it. Amazingly it had the Strat “quack” when played unplugged. The neck is absolutely immaculate and the nicest finished most comfortable neck I have played on any guitar and I’ve played hundreds. All in all an absolutely fantastic guitar for the money, I absolutely love it. A smarter choice than the Fender player series as it is slightly better in every way and the neck is something else. And it’s £100 cheaper. I have too many guitars with humbuckers I wanted a Strat style guitar with 3 single coils that sound like a vintage Strat. This guitar ticks all the boxes for me.
If I could make one suggestion for Lee's affordable rig, I would say a higher headroom amp than the Laney, like a Bugera v22 or T50 would help for demo applications, especially for clean tones. But I must say, Lee's playing has improved immensely! He's clearly putting the work in. P.S. I am lusting for one of those T7 FM guitars. The black flame top is gorgeous! And an H7. I just have to sell a couple of guitars to finance and justify the purchase. Wish me luck.
aw! man you guys are the absolute best! The banter, the innuendo's, and just the sheer cheekiness and humour between the two of you is just great!! Oh and great playing and superb reviews, awesome just awesome. Good on ya fellas, love it.
I didn't have an issue with the bass headstock like some did, but I gotta say, the guitar in line headstock has better proportions. Nice little hidden improvement.
The price and quality build is what it should be. It's the big price low build quality for the money that the NAMES bend you over, that and a 30-40% mark-up for the shop 👌
I have to say ...again...these all sound sensational. If you don't buy a few different styles in the range, you're crazy...the value for money is insane! The Tele tones are killer...might have to buy me one down here in Aus-bekistan LOL
just received my H7. Its a beautiful guitar and plays amazing. The only downside may be the weight. I didn't measure it, but it feels almost, if not more, as heavy as my Gibson LP standard. and the fretboard looks just like rosewood, not nearly as dark as an ebony board. not sure if they're using rosewood as well now. Other than that, an excellent, super value for money instrument.
Just got my Sire H7 cherry. Man that thing is unreal for the money. It is probably perfert for a semi hollow but it is way heavier then I thought it would be. Over all I love it.
Love you m8's thanks for all you do and Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas.What a lineup of Electrics for the low price..Want one but I have all I can play now..Best to you...
Beautiful guitars, great tones,great new finishes. Jazzy blues over bluesy jazz is the way to go. And please, no pushy-pully stuff for the vintage T-style.
Sires are unbelievable guitars, and are WAY more affordable than their quality would suggest. I think they could very easily go for double what they cost.
Must admit I've never heard of Sire kit, but they seem great. They've nailed both the T and S sound. Loving the roasted maple necks. But are the "rolled" necks as good as the comfort of my T and S custom shop kit? If yes then guess what I'll be eBaying?
Yeah new player in guitars but Sire's been tearing up the bass world for maybe 6-7 years now with pro quality basses at easy to afford prices. Glad the guitars also seem to hit the value "sweet spot".
Love my Sire S7 !!! Waited 5 months for it but well worth it. I agree with Captain about the push/pull stuff...I'd like to be able to split my bridge humbucker (might see about a mod sometime!).
Was wondering what’s the difference in the t7 and the t7 fm ? Sound good, looks like great quality for the price, great looking guitars. How do they get the price so low? Amazing.

I love that the captain is accentuating butter notes while Pete is pulling tension back in, it works!
Danish Pete definitely becomes his truest self when he picks up a T style guitar, doesn’t he?
Same as Lee when picking up a Les Paul like in outro jam ;)
@@damasterkarej I'm actually partial to Lee's playing and tones using an SG! Lee, you need an SG!
I actually love lee's strat driven tone ... Lol
My main browser page has been your Sire S7 Vintage in black from 3 months on. Every time I start my browser, it checks for that guitar being in stock.... Now that I finally got to listen to it at Pete's hands it surpassed my expectations... Great video guys... Love those jams
That semi hollowbody just looks and sounds beautiful. That tele is a fine peace of work as well.
I bought my S7 from you guys at Andertons, waited 6 months, and well worth the wait, superb guitar for the money, in fact a bargain, love mine
I just acquired a T7 fm in blue that’s had EMGs installed and it is absolutely awesome, the build quality is as lots of people have commented, like a guitar you’d expect to cost a lot lot more, and the parts especially the trem and the locking staggered tuners are very high quality.

Damn! It was worth it to click on this video just to watch these two jam out for four minutes at the beginning with all the Sire guitars. Fantastic!
Lee your playing in the intro jam was fantastic, petes as well of course. Floors me every time how you guys can play and jam like that, thanks
Absolutely beautiful guitars, not to mention the way they sound! Great job boys!
You guys are making me a sire fanboy, specs sound too good to be true for the price point
I rlly want the T7
That intro is just behind the intro for the "Can Gretsch Guitars Do That" video for my favorite, love that sound.
It's amazing what we as consumers have available to us for say 800.00 and below. The brands, styles, features are just amazing. The whole Epiphone line, Fender player, Squier CV, Sire just to name the biggies so many options. We are in a golden era of options for the home player

@@IridiumZero the point is that the quality of said brands at said price ranges are much better than before. weird thing to be smug about
@@IridiumZero ummm they are? You can still get all those you mentioned for under 200$… he’s making a point that the mid/High end range of entry brands and the low end of the luxury brands are a better value with more options than ever before .. and he’s not even close to wrong
In terms of bang for the buck, Harley Benton is above the rest, honestly. Obviously the Epi n Squier logos and headstocks look cooler but ya know.
All of them sound very good. Great playing and review.
I have a sire bass, which I love. Then got an H7, and the quality is amazing. I've played MANY guitars over the last almost 40 years and I can't think of a manufacturer that offers this level of value. Totally recommended.
Isn't the H7 nut VERY narrow? Love the look and sound of the H7 but that is a big turn off for me!!! I'll pass.
@@44scoots it's a 41mm nut rather than a standard 43mm Gibson nut. So depends on your definition of narrow!!
@@MuadDib74 thank you.
The captain is so engaging it's just as good as the jams,I bet a nite out chatting shop is never dull
Haha! Nice spinal tap reference in there with blues/jazz. ”Was it a jazz blues or blues jazz festival?” 😂🙌🏻
Everything I’ve seen about Sire guitars has earned my respect. I suspect I’m gonna have to own one as my last and best ever guitar
We placed our first order ever with Andertons yesterday. Sire S7 FM! All the way from Trenton Michigan!
Heyy there is actually a hum splitter in S7 , if you press the tone knob it pops up splitting the coil and if you press it again it goes back to being a humbucker.

"While the music played, you worked by candlelight. Those San Francisco nights. You were the best in town." Thanks Larry
And Larry was!
Just had my H7 335 style in White which was ordered in May and I have to say I'm well impressed.
That rounded sound with a cut through. Excellent!
outstanding video, already have the version of the HSS lefthanded from Andertons, a superb guitar for the money, seriously now considering the T7 or 335 version of the sire guitars , brilliant business by Andertons, keep up the good work.
Finally an L7 LP Custom in borh classic colors!
Probably the best affordable copy of this classic, I've seen so far.
I just bought the S7 Vintage today! So stoked! 😁🎸🎶🎵🎸
Great Demo. Love these Sires. Played the L7 through a California Tweed. Can't stop thinking of it since. Great Job Gentlemen. 👍🏻👍🏻
26:08. Yep it twangs like a Silver Sky ✅
Love that change at 9:53, very nice riffing. Pete's style is ridiculously wide haha.
2:40 amazing piece from Danish Pete
That Fiesta Red T-Style, and that Brownie S-Style Guitar are very lovely indeed!
Loved the 'Lenny' tone at the end, really good.
That Fiesta Red "Tele" is *gorgeous*.
I got a T7 FM recently! IT IS AWESOME!
Have L7 white one on my own. Looks beautiful, sounds great. Absolutely recommendable. I love it so much so I don't need Epiphone Les Paul Custom anymore, sold it. Hope I could get H7 and T7 one day. Great Video of course!👍
Great video!1 it’s nice that you covered all the models in one sitting. Great playing, too.
I just bought the HH version of the Sire T7 (in trans black) a few days ago. Such a great axe!
Do you love it-that’s the one I’m waiting to get in stock!
@@aallen7339 yeah, it's really great! The pickups sound awesome and are very musical & versatile. And the neck feels just perfect!
I love that Red tele 🔥 that ACDC ending 🙂
Snapped up the t7 FM before this vid dropped... Stunning !!
After having my Sire acoustic for well over a year (closer to 18 months - to get rid of Covid Blues!), ANDERTONS! You've made me gone & done it - AGAIN! SImply could not resist, as it's always futile. - Now I need to prepare a hiding spot. Kids! Need I say more?
Both their tones was killer in this one and they complimented each other so well... great jam
We haven't had a (semi)hollow(body) shootout in a while - what're the chances of seeing how the Sire stands against the competition?
This would really help my purchase decision. Sheraton ii pro vs. es-335 (Epiphone) vs. Sire H!
@@El-Scorcho Good choices there. For a shootout, Ibanez, Gretsch and D'Angelico (just about) have stuff in roughly the same price range. If I were putting money on it, I'd guess the Epi 335 would win, but not by much.
@@El-Scorcho you might want to take a look at D'Angelico premier dc ,I have one and it's an amazing guitar ,looks and playability just awesome

Loved the playing! Thanks, guys!
The best I ever heard from you guys....that was great
I didn't have an issue with the bass headstock like some did, but I gotta say, the guitar in line headstock has better proportions. Nice little hidden improvement.
I have seen alot of their videos but I don't remember seeing this brand but they look amazing
I like that sunburst colour. I think that might have to be the next purchase from Lee and the boys since I buy all my guitars from Andertons.
The price and quality build is what it should be. It's the big price low build quality for the money that the NAMES bend you over, that and a 30-40% mark-up for the shop 👌
It's amazing that someone finally got it right to put a matching headstock on a white LP style guitar! 'Bout time!
Would be very interesting to see a Sire vs Epiphone shootout vid, guys! Cheers
Exceptional playing Captain and Pete!
I really love the H7 the best out of all of them as my first impression
I have to say ...again...these all sound sensational. If you don't buy a few different styles in the range, you're crazy...the value for money is insane! The Tele tones are killer...might have to buy me one down here in Aus-bekistan LOL
I bought the 335 derivative. After 8 months I get it next Tuesday!
More color selections for the traditional tele version please....where is the purple one Pete?
They sound fantastic. Great playing.
just received my H7. Its a beautiful guitar and plays amazing. The only downside may be the weight.

love the white custom.
ohhy that red tele looks gorgeous
Way cool. T style Im diggin the Harley Bentons but LP Im lovin that Sire. Definitely would jam on one
You Can Never Have Too Many Guitars 👍👍🎶🎶🎸
Loved the basses, wasn't sold on the original guitars....these however.... damn. The blue t7 fm looks great!
Just got my Sire H7 cherry. Man that thing is unreal for the money. It is probably perfert for a semi hollow but it is way heavier then I thought it would be. Over all I love it.

Absolutely love them. Crazy good guitars for the price!
Love them all. The jams are so awesome! The outro…❤️
As usual, tasty playing, well shot , recorded and produced. Amazing guitars, but I am left wanting an SG shape.
woah! that S style sounds amazing.
Whoa man, these are cool. Never heard of them!
Those are great sounding guitars....wow
Beautiful guitars, great tones,great new finishes. Jazzy blues over bluesy jazz is the way to go. And please, no pushy-pully stuff for the vintage T-style.
Sires are unbelievable guitars, and are WAY more affordable than their quality would suggest. I think they could very easily go for double what they cost.
I have a Sire S7 and it is wonderful. I want a T7 so badly.
I love Danish Pete’s reaction to the Orange Tele. I wish I had the skills to link 14:37 and 16:12 together.
Holy banana! Pete’s boards would need a whole road crew just for them alone!😮
Sounds magnificent. Looks just lovely. I'm in.
Pit & Lee masters of tone
I love that finish. Like a Music Man EVH
Must admit I've never heard of Sire kit, but they seem great. They've nailed both the T and S sound. Loving the roasted maple necks.
But are the "rolled" necks as good as the comfort of my T and S custom shop kit?
If yes then guess what I'll be eBaying?
Yeah new player in guitars but Sire's been tearing up the bass world for maybe 6-7 years now with pro quality basses at easy to afford prices. Glad the guitars also seem to hit the value "sweet spot".
Sire Marcus Miller basses have trended in the bass forums for years
Haven't played an S custom shop, but I do have the S7. Its the most comfortable neck I've played. The rolled edges and fret work is just excellent.;
Which you do you prefer? The Sire S7 or a Squier Contemporary Special? Thanks
Thought youd say around £2500 but such great value, seems lots of guitar for the money
Lee! Please put the finishes in the description on your website.
Love my Sire S7 !!! Waited 5 months for it but well worth it. I agree with Captain about the push/pull stuff...I'd like to be able to split my bridge humbucker (might see about a mod sometime!).
Already built into the newer V2 models :).
Was wondering what’s the difference in the t7 and the t7 fm ? Sound good, looks like great quality for the price, great looking guitars. How do they get the price so low? Amazing.
