Why does everyone comment on his playing for the past 15 years like he was some kind of disabled child who learned to walk again?!?? He is still incredibly average, let's move on to find someone who is an actual musician.
@@soundknight Is that how you would describe yourself? Do you mean someone who is a professional musician? Does that make someone an "actual musician"? "Incredibly average" makes no sense, how can someone be both incredible and average? Personally I enjoy listening to Lee and Pete playing together - definitely a bond between them... Best, Pete.
I'm a big fan of P90s their sound is what made me decide "yes this is the thing, I'm going to get this guitar" and so my electric guitar journey started. Now that being said In February-March (2022) I ordered a Sire L7 it arrived on November 11th I immediately got an infection in my middle finger that made playing too painful so I couldn't hardly play it after all that waiting, when I did it was constantly having to remember don't use that finger. So I sit down after my finger hurt to much to do any playing, I open up RU-vid and in my recommended I see a video from Sire of an L7 with P90s I was equal parts happy, sad, and "excuse me why didn't you exist back when I ordered an L7"
I just recently discovered Sire guitars, and with the LP style guitar with P90s as a gold top will scratch off a dream guitar that I’ve always wanted without breaking the bank. So thank you for the review as this will most likely be my next big purchase to my guitar line up. I’d go for the Gibson if it wasn’t so much.
Exactly what I'm thinking but wonder how it compares to its Epi counterpart - not having a chance to get hands on either makes it especially difficult. Looking seriously at that H7V Cherry with the same thoughts vs Epi Lennon Casino. Thoughts anyone?
Same dude, something about a gold top LP is just about one of the most beautiful things ever lol Btw, leo jaymz makes a gorgeous gold top LP as well, I remember seeing 6stringStanger reviewing one, and I was blown away by how good it looked and sounded 🤩
Just listened to Pete's interview with Greg Koch on his podcast and then watched this. Thanks to ALL the effort that goes into making and editing these videos. And yes. Lee underestimates his playing ability. And he's always lovely to my kids in the store.
Larry Carlton played a Valley Arts Strat in the late-80s or so. If you check out his (super excellent!) first instructional DVD, it's the only guitar he plays throughout. He also had a signature Valley Arts that was a kind of Strat/Tele hybrid (for lack of a better way to describe it). I think that was released early 90s or thereabouts. Hope that's of some interest to someone.
If Sire wasn't already popular, this intro jam ALONE could sell millions of these guitars lol Seriously guys, I know we say it all the time, but you are KILLING it! Kudos 👏 🎸 🔥
If only they could keep up with demand. I've bought 3 guitars since the Larry Carlton line came out, and they were my first choice, but, nobody in America ever has them in stock and they can never give you a date for when you'll have it in your hands if you were to pre-order. Gibson, Chapman, and Epiphone are happy, I'm sure. Btw Captain, absolutely love my Chapman ML3 Traditional. Love! It's 5 months old and that's all I've played since I first picked it up. Was working out the Major/minor changes to Soulshine last night, and the P90 just keeps blowing my mind. Love it!
Just a comment of thanks. Being a lefty it's not all that common to find manufacturers who make a real effort for we wonky people. In a fit of unexpected understanding the purchasing director (my wife) has allowed me to buy not just the H7V, but once it had been delivered and astonished me for the price, but an L7V too. These are amazing quality for the price, absolutely in line with what seems to be the consistent reviews on RU-vid channels. I bought both (a) because I could! (b) because they are super cool and (c) in part to support a supplier who supports us lefties. Thanks for the great kit.
I love Lee's playing, and I would give a kidney to be able to play as well as he does! I don't care if he's a proper "musician" or not, he's a musician in my book.
Brand new beginner guitarist. Going to start taking lessons with my daughter, she wants to learn! and I have always wanted to learn blues guitar. Love your channel, keep up the great work, these Sire's sound amazing
Thank you Sire, Larry Carlton and Andertons. Been looking for a P90 loaded guitar for a while. That L7 that Pete is playing at the end of the video might just be the one.
It's not that we think guitars can't/shouldn't have pedals, it's because not everyone sets them up the same way you do. Some people like a warmer guitar into bright gain pedals, others like sparkly guitars into mid-hump pedals. They sometimes end up I the same territory after pedals even if the guitars are totally different. That's why we want you to demo the guitars in the nude. 👍 For me, I loved the sounds of that gold top until it was naked. It's too bassy for me since my rig is dialed in for my Gretsch and S3.
Lee, you’ve got a lovely touch on the instrument, the kind you can’t teach. There’s a tenderness there, even when you’re using some gain. It’s a real treat to hear you evolve with each new video. BTW, I really enjoyed your interview with Tim Pierce. My bride and I will be attending a wedding in London later this year. Visiting Andertons will be among my stops. Hope to see you there.
The feel of a guitar is everything. It speaks to you or not. The improvision, in the end, tells everything, both got into the zone with these guitars. That tells more than anything else about these guitars.
Lee ya bugger!!! That was some beautiful playing as you guys played out!! I was fixed on the dark sunburst with the P90s (I have the East Coast tele with the P90 and love it), but after hearing and seeing you on the black one my head is fried again!! Your phrasing is first class man!!!
Beautiful tone. I am gearing towards P90s at the moment and looking at LP type with P90s or a tele with P90 neck pickup. Then I came across your jamming. Both awesome tone the LP and semi hollow. Goldtop for the win! Oh also Sire’s making a loud reputation at the moment as affordable best quality guitars.
Damn Pete is so excellent, and Lee has gotten good! I'm not even in the market for new gear but I always watch your videos because they are always entertaining. Great work!
I purchased my first LP in 1972.. and even I associated the LP with Duane Allman rather than Les Paul... It changes every generation... 😁😁 I'm ready to try out the Sire 335
That orange sunburnt I how I see the colors on the first Sire you had played is beautiful and sounds clear and crisp. I'm glad they make that one there for a lefty. I've been playing left handed since 64. My father bought my. Gibson left handed then and that's the only Gibson I own. Never owned a Sire but I heard you 2 play them plus the lefty from Australia play one. Thank you for showing this video
Yamaha has discontinued the low-cut knob on their current Revstars. To me that was an important feature of the line. It's been replaced by an "overwound pickup" circuit. What were they thinking? Reverend is doing some cool guitars! I'll be checking them out. Glad you got one.
My Sire H7V just arrived at my house. Perfectly setup by the vendor. It was perfectly in tune which I didn't expect with this cold weather. I couldn't find any blemishes and at this price point I was expecting some minor things but I can't find any .The neck is fat but it's not a 50's Gibson neck. It's just right. The P90's sounds on par with the handwound 4Seasons alnico 2 pickups I installed in my les Paul copy which were expensive pick-ups just like the SD ones. The They wired the H7V different then a typical 50's wiring and I think that's why it is marginally brighter. I like it a lot. Larry Carlton plays them live so I think he has a lot of confidence in this guitars. For anyone who's in the market voor a 335 style instrument but doesn't want to pay the insane prices of the Gibson brand this is a very good alternative.
Just got a l7v gold top. Wow. You guys are spot on with these guitars. They sell themselves. The most impressive thing to me amount many other things, is the pot tapers on the controls. Simply amazing and what every guitar should have.
Sorry for your loss guys...Love the P90 and Olivier Giroud... Happy Sire ou triste sire ? that is the question and now the civil war at the Champs Elysées because of you...
Pete, that haircut looks real smooth and Lee, your plunking skills just keep getting better, and lastly, those headstocks are great... Rock on guys (!)
Pete, do you ever feel, as a guitar player, that you’re playing the same thing over and over again and you’re bound to be found out? I’ve been playing for 30 years and it feels like I’m always playing the same thing and absolutely everyone else can tell. My listeners don’t seem to feel that way but it’s a feeling that I have. 😊
I really like that you guys honestly review the guitars which is consistent across all of your videos whether they are about pedals or guitars! Thanks guys
@@soundknight Yes, honesty that thing that is so rare these days. They give their honest opinion, at least, that is my perception. Who are you to question my statement? The clarity police. Come on, mind your own business schmo
These sire guitars are really challenging the guitar game between sire and prs se line you have a fantastic pro guitar between 500 and a grand ...even the squire guitars are amazing
An interesting comment! I agree on the brightness. But just last night I lowered the low E bridge pole screw on my L7HB. Even with current production techniques, every gtr. is a bit different.
Hay to put it bluntly, iam chuffed !!!!!!! What great tone, thanks you bad cats, love to watch you guys , come to America and you will surely have a great time.
Had to pause the presentation to have a quick look at the Andertons web site. I'm very impressed with the Sire Larry Charlton guitar range, great prices too. Each guitar model is prefixed with Sire Larry Charlton's name - which on my first look I read as Sir Larry Charlton - maybe Larry should be given a knighthood! I really liked the Sir Sire Larry Carlton H7V Semi Hollow: fab 🏰
I'll tell you what, Lee needs to buy that gold top single cut because that intro jam was super kickass! We all know Pete is a phenomenal player but I'm getting crazy impressed with Lee's soulful vibe lately! I want that cherry sunburst 335 copy!
Dare I say that the opening jam saw Lee sound better than Pete for once? Just loved the simplicity and emotiveness. And no offence to Pete. He's still a phenomenal player and composer, as evidenced in the track itself. Soooooooo goooood! Clearly, Pete outdid himself. That smug smile of satisfaction in the beginning said it all. Cute. When is that coming out in whole on RU-vid or Spotify? Dying to improv to it.
I have 3 sire basses... Very good gear.... I also have a German ltd ed Warwick and 2 American fenders. The sires are darn good and hold their own. The hype is real.
I bought one of these Sire H7V with dogear P90s two weeks ago from Thomann, NOT Anderton's, to be clear. I was super impressed by the lovely guitar in Pete Honore's early video of the Sire h7 with Seymour Duncan Antiquity dogear P90s, some months back. When it arrived, looked even better in person. But, played it, and 'oh dear god no' it's an insta-return. The neck was badly badly misbuilt. Nasty jagged gap in the binding, in the whole first position top binding, catches on my hand, and even on cloth fibres. Really unplayable, so bad. There are similar lesser problems in the upper frets, and on the underneath binding. I'm so dissapointed in the build quality and QC here. I've been in contact with Sire, and Thomann. But, I think people should be aware, the QC here on the necks might not be what it should be (or even exist?). I remember on earlier reviews of the humbucker H7, people were pointing out some weaker aspects, being sloppy paint spatters on the fretboard near the binding. But this is a whole other level. Are the necks made / Q.C.'d in the same factory, or ...?
Pleased to see they have increased the nut width on the H7. The 'bucker version at 40mm was far too narrow for me. I've got a couple of semi hollows but neither has P90s, so maybe....
Love you guys! Couldn’t imagine putting up with that “Chap-“ we had to put up with before Danish Pete. He couldn’t play guitar and he was pompous, you are a MUCH better team. Thanks for doing what you do.
I recently considered the H7 but was put off by the narrowness of the neck at the nut. Apologies if I missed it in the spec section, but I didn’t catch mention that the H7V has a 43mm width at the nut, which is a massive upgrade for me. The black looks amazing.
