Hey folks did you have the chance to try these ones? Cheers!
Ever thought about making lesson videos? Gear is cool, but your playing is fire and I wanna see more. Even just noodling videos would be cool.
@@krzysiekgoralsky2207 Thanks man, appreciated. Right now mostly of my instructional stuff is in Italian language, but maybe I'll do something in english in the future. Thank you again :)
I swear by the Squier Classic Vibes. No need for upgrades.Good to go and high resale value if one decides to move up the Fender chain. But why bother? A great guitar at any price.
The Sires are never in stock.
@@820hurleyj I got a T7 FM trans blue just like the one in the video in stock at Sweetwater last month. Then a week later I scored a demo S7 vintage that's virtually mint condition (one ding on the underside of the neck joint I need a flashlight to even find) from them at $100 off.
They are out there, you just have to keep looking and checking different sellers. They do sell faster than Sire can build them, that's always been true.
FGN are awesome guitars and is definitely the best one out of all of these in this video in my opinion!!!
The neck pup on the sire sounds amazing. Super creamy and articulate
FGN are amazing, Japanese Luthiers are 2nd to none!
many many thanks for this kind of review
glad i didn't ordered Squier one
that sound made me "huh? is that really T-style?"
quite interesting in FGN and S7
Keep on doing your reviews. You are destined to be a UA-cam star!!!
Thanks a lot man, really appreciated
The Sire T7, in my opinion, is better outfitted for your money than a Squier will be. It has modern tapered neck joint for easier access to the higher frets and the frets themselves have been better dressed. All the T7s that have come through the shop lately have had satin finished necks. If I had to pick a weakness for Sire it would be that their pickups are not the greatest and their QC has shown to be hit or miss. That said the playability of their necks are consistent, and their locking tuners are very good in my experience. I would not hesitate to purchase one as a mod platform. I would change the bridge out for a Wilkinson or something like that and then give it an Iron Gear pickup makeover. I would most likely use a single and a hotrail for the standard style T7 and for the FMT model a Dirty Torque in the bridge and a Blues Engine in the neck. For the FMT I would also change the 5way out for a Freeway 5+5 and run a set of stacked 500k pots giving individual tone and volume controls to each pickup and run a Kinman treble bleed circuit on each volume pot. That FMT has tons of potential.
I have zero experience with FGN so I cannot say whether it would be better than the Sire. However, given it is crafted in Japan, I would gave to find a way to give one a rip because IMO the best Fender branded guitar for your money right now is without a doubt the Fender Japan Aerodyne series. The HSS Aerodyne is going for 999.99 USD right now and plays better and sounds better than a $1200 MIM Player Plus in the same configuration.
I have always liked Japanese made guitars and have a 1996 Vista series Jagmaster that has been my daily driver since new in 96. It was Japanese made and everyone who has played it has remarked on how effortless the neck is to navigate. It is getting an electronics overhaul and some under the hood wizardry to breath new life into its voice. I played a china made reissue a couple years back and was disgusted by how inferior it was to mine. The humbuckers were weak, the neck was terrible with sharp fret ends and the shape seemed more retro Jazzmaster than modern rocker like mine with much smaller fret wire as well. I think the best Tele that I have played recently was a Ritchie Kotzen model from Japan, it is a super slick setup with phenomenal pickups and a very unique control arrangement. If you are looking for an already built badass of a Tele the RK made in Japan is my vote, but it is going to set you back over 1k.
Thank you for the detailed comment. Do you have any thoughts on putting Suhr pickups the T7-FM? I think they stock ones are medium to low output right? So it gives your tone room to breathe instead of high gain stuff. If I'm right & you think Suhr pups are a good option, what Suhr pickups would you suggest?
Thank you. 🙏🏼
This is exactly what I was looking for
Hey Guido, Dominic here. I love your work.
Thanks dude
Thanks for the tone comparisons. I really appreciate it. I have been thinking about a Sire fm t7 and the tone comparisons were really helpful!
Great comparison! Subscribed!
Thanks!
GREAT VIDEO, would be good to add time stamps and mention the price of each...thanks
Fender fan here. I have to say what Fender are doing these days dosent excite me anymore when news breaks that they are bringing out some new guitars. I automatically think how much are these going to cost or more like how much are we going to get robbed. The big brands aren't giving you value for money. I get more excited by brands like like Sire and even Harley benton as you are getting a amazing bang for your buck, a lot of value for money and better quality, especially on the neck, a lot more time and care gets spent on the guitars giving you a more enjoyable playing experience. What Sire are doing for £500 fender would probably charge you £2000 for and Gibson £3000. Its like the big brands are being arrogant, its a fender/Gibson they will pay it. Living off there history and dont get me wrong its an amazing proud history with the most iconic players. The difference between a player series strat and pro 2 is £1000 pound but heres the thing you can spend £550 on a player series, £220 on a Fender American loaded pickguard, £40 for fender American tuners, £80 for an American trem, £8 on a bone nut and pay a luthier £100 to install it all and give your guitar a full set up thats £998 spent on a strat and it will have the same hardware, electronics and your choice of American pups and the same set up as an american pro 2 and leave you with £602 change. If you bought everything 2nd hand off of ebay you could do it all for £700-£800 leaving you £900-£800 change. You may not have the word American on your guitar but that actually dosent matter. I'd be more inclined now to do a strat build/upgrade, that way you could pick your guitar colour, what pickguard colour, colour of nobs and pickup surround colour, style of tuners, have your choice of pickups. That to me is a better choice than paying for a pro 2. If i only had £600 I'd go for a sire over a player series if i was a guitar newbie. If i knew now what i didnt back then about guitars i most definitely wouldn't have spent the small fortune i have on fenders 😔
Defo going to acquire a Sire though!
So true. The QA on many of the high end guitars has disappeared. I turned down a Fender Pro II for a Sire S7 and so happy I did. It plays better than any Fenders I own and half the price!
I have the blue one on order!
That was a very clear demonstration of those 4 guitars. In my mind, the Squire sounded the best, the most like a nice Tele. The next 2 were ok, but the blue one? A Tele with humbuckers and a 5-way switch is not a Tele, or am I wrong? And it did not sound like a Tele. Thanks Guitalian.
Haven't tried these however your presentation was great!
Thanks!
I have a black flame top T7fm, and just ordered the fiesta red T7. Can't wait for it to get here!
both of the Sires are my favorite!
ahhh SOS. Miss playing that song. 70's and 80's had some of the best rock music. The T-7 FM 5 way. pos 5 bridge HB, pos 4 Bridge SC, pos 3 both HB, pos 2 neck SC, pos 5 neck HB. You could probably tell that y the sound.
Nice playing. That first sire is really making me rethink a fender purchase…? The FGN is super nice too, sounds the best to my ears. I have a couple mij strats tho, so might be biased.
Le son aussi
J’adore le son aussi
Sire vs Silver sky se,which Tele would you buy,Fender Player,Sire,thanks
per un momento ho temuto che avessero usato in maniera impropria i tuoi video Luca... avanti tutta, also in english!
ahahah, sono sempre io ;)
Wow!! In this video, The FGN sounds really good.. The best amongst all. Way better than my USA made Fender Telecasters.
a shame it is ugly looking...
La FGN francamente molto bella. Direi che sound e qualità costruttiva parrebbero, a colpo d'occhio, un pelino superiori alle concorrenti.
What’s the neck profile like on the Fgn? Slim? Chunky?
Hey dude! Great video. Very professional and informative. 👍 Apart from quality build and playability, a guitarist wants that Tele sound, right? I'm Australian, and Fender guitars are ridiculously expensive here. But I needed a Telecaster. I ended up buying a Vintage (brand) V62 for $750 AU. The sound is great, but the build quality and playability is disappointing. I don't know if you have them in Europe but they're either made in the U.S. or Britain.
I think vintage comes out of china
My favourite was the Squier. Maybe its because I play a Classic Vibe, who knows?
I bought a Squire Stratocaster at a yard sale for 40 bucks when I got it home it sounded and played like garbage. Its doesnt even sit in the same room as my Standards or my USA Teles. I like that the Sire has brass saddles.
T7!
I will take the Sire Larry Carlton guitars over anything that’s been released by Fender and Gibson over the last 50 years😎👌😳
Ok for the money and if that's all you can afford
But I wouldn't go that far.
The sires are far superior to the guitars gibson (epiphone) and fender are putting out in the same price category. If they'd come in at a grand, no one would say theyd been ripped off.
@@pablohanc You have a right to your opinion.
@@edema.3418 thank you. The opinion has come from owning guitars from epiphone and fender in the same price bracket......And there really is no comparison spec wise. The only advantage those guitarsvhave is the name on the headstock, which admitedly is a big advantage when it co especially to selling an instrument.
@@pablohanc I don’t know a ton about guitars, but I agree with you. There so many differing opinions it can get confusing. I am looking at picking up a budget tele, but I’m stuck. I can’t decide between a Squier Classic Vibe, FGN Iliad, G&L ASAT Tribute, Sire, Schecter, Harley Benton... and the list keeps on growing... lol
Thanks for another great review!!! I would go for the squier and change the pickups later if i didn't like them. I support originality so i go for the real tele. But if sire made an original design instead if just copying fender, then i would love to get one. They seem like great guitars!
They are indeed. One of the best choice in this price range. Try one!
I prefer both of the Sires. The last one, the FM, sounded the best overall, but for cleans with the classic tele aesthetic, the T7 is what draws me in.
If only Sire would put the standard pickups on the flamed maple. Unfortunately you can only get it with the humbuckers. Very disappointing.
@@dbreardon but it’s good for those who wants to play jazz on telecaster …
@@sudhakartamang1792 as a jazz player, i just got a basically new t7 fm for a ridiculous price and damn... it's a dream. doesn't play better than my prestige ibanez, but WAY outplays my kiesel aries.
I’ve had that white Larry Carlton Tele for months.
It’s my go to guitar.
It sits on a PRS floating guitar stand next to my bed.
I fell in love with Sire Larry Carlton guitars after watching a John Robson guitar tuition video Of him buying and reviewing his Sire Larry Carlton HSS Strat.👌👍
One has to spend loads of money getting something custom made to better these Sire Larry Carlton guitars.
I’m on my 5th Larry Carlton guitar order and I can’t Waite for it to arrive 👌😎👍
Only ~$200-300USD more for a Shijie TLV Classic, which is a better guitar than Fender "Pro II" and "Vintage II" models costing twice as much...seriously!
Lotta keyword stuffing in that comment! Are you an SEO and a guitarist, like me? lol
Hey thanks for the review and amazing playing ! What happened on the Sire T7 near the saddles ? I couldn’t catch what you were saying . Thanks
nothing major, the saddles had a bit raw surface that would cause friction on the string
Ci sarebbe anche la Tokai davvero molto interessante
Telecastera!
Didnt know Luka Modric quit football and is comparing guitars now. Good to know. He’s not bad.
Wow, i didn’t know either
sire t7 fm rocks
Hi,have you tried the Silver Sky se vs the Sire,which Tele or Strat would you buy,thanks.
luka modric good on football and Guitar !!!
Nice review video
Great playing
I personally like the squier because it seems the most similar to the classic tele design. But I haven't played any of them!
Are the Sire guitar 🎸 pickups noise cancelling?
From what I understand, they are not; however, I believe they use shielding that drastically reduces noise. My T7 comes in today, (comparing it to a Suhr classic T that’s been my favorite guitar I’ve ever owned), and I’m planning on playing with the stock pickups for a week before upgrading them need be to some noiseless ones. Considering fender Gen 4s or the Greg Koch Fluences
Guitars made in Indonesia are the best based on price and quality
I don't understand why would anybody want a t-style guitar with humbuckers. It looks very cool but you are really getting the gibson/prs sound. I would take that S7 of all of them with the classic bridge and single coils.
I've got a T7 FM just like that one on order. So, I'm kind of partial to that one. I will say the Squire has the classic Tele sound moreso than the others. Oops! Looks like I already commented on this video.
My T7 gets no playing time since I bought a Shijie TLV Classic, which is so much better that the $200USD more it cost is inconsequential - more than worth it. I even like the Shijie TLV Classic telecasters more than the Fender "Pro II" and "Vintage II" which cost twice as much. Problem is you have to roll the dice and buy one new, because very few ever hit the used market, and they aren't stocked by dealers so you can try them first. Suffice to say it will be one of the best guitar purchases you ever made, and if you don't like it - I'll buy it from you for a small discount........?
Not like for like the fgn is 1000 eur the carlton is south of 600 eur and the squire is 300 to 350 depends where u shop so not fair to to put a grands worth against less then half that The squire.And The carlton T3 ar in the same price range i know u say under 600 cant see the fgn anywhere near under 600 all near 1000.
When I shot this video they were pretty much in the same price range.
Put humbuckers in a tele and it's no longer a tele, IMO.
Sire t7 fm
Adding 'crunch' makes them all sound the same.
Good
@guitarman True of all guitars really... Electric guitars generally sound more different the cleaner one plays and more similar the more gain that is used.
Like the man said, the quality of FGN is second to none. I own the Boundary Iliad 2 and it is a fantastic guitar.
As far as the hardware and the sound goes, it does what I want it to and everythin else is a matter of taste.
T7.
boundary fgn is the best guitar I've ever owned
Mancavano video fatti in lingua inglese?? Voglio dirlo con tutto l'amore possibile ma gli italiani che mi fanno i video in Inglese mi stanno sul cazzo! Spiego: Quando vuoi sapere delle notizie su strumenti o legni ecc c'è un sacco di video della madonna fatta da un infinità di musicisti e liutai Americani e ti devi arrangiare per capire per chi come me ha bisogno dei sottotitoli. Non mi piace l'inglese che che se ne dica sull'argomento e nemmeno mi interessa la retorica al riguardo. Apprezzerei che musicisti e liutai prendessero spunto dagli americani regalandoci video della stessa qualità e varietà ma in Italiano anche per noi poveracci che per capire perchè una Martin e migliore o diversa da un altra martin deve usare il traduttore " Questo è un Esempio" ...Ave!!
guarda, non so perché tu sia capitato qui, ma il mio canale in Italiano "Luca Milieri" ha circa 26mila iscritti e ha gli stessi contenuti in lingua italiana. Detto questo, potresti esprimerti anche senza mezzi insulti, va bene lo stesso
