What riff is he playing when he starts the demo or better yet 1st 2 riffs , the really spooky suspensful one that reminds me of steely dan maybe and then the 2nd blues rock riff kinda think it's a slash riff but not sure they right after they r both on tip of my tongue

I know a guy that's a great jazz player that's appeared on a lot of jazz recordings and sessions as well as a session player on a lot of pop records and few tours. For the first ten years of his 'professional' career he just used a stock 90s Epiphone Sheraton on everything and some junky thing as a backup. No one cared. No one said, ''Why aren't you playing a top-shelf Gibson?' High end guitars are beautiful works of art and there's a romance to owning a great US model. But audiences and clients couldn't care less.

@gtr1952 Год назад

I agree Tim. My ES335 was about $3500. I build guitars in a small shop at home. From what I can tell, the Gibson and Sire are built the same way. 3 layer, cross grain pressed top and back with a center block. The wood on the Gibson, and maybe part of the process is what results in the lighter weight. Sire does an excellent job on the neck and frets!! For about $400 you could change the pups, wiring, pots, switch and jack. That would make it very hard to tell the difference in a blind test! This is the first off shore guitar I've ever said this about! Peace.. --gary

While extremely close, I could pick the Gibson blindfolded anytime, it has a kind of airiness and compression that the Sire doesn't match with the current configuration. What pickups and electronics in your opinion (Gibson '57 with 50s wiring, orange drops etc. ) should achieve that, or is it also a matter of wood/construction difference?

As a lifelong Gibson 355 player... I was curious to see this guitar comparison... which was an excellent presentation. However I was far more impressed by Tim's guitar playing and brilliant execution of every tune he played. Steely Dan is extremely advanced and complex music to cut on guitar...and Tim landed it note-for note... perfectly executed! BRAVO! I lost interest in which guitar you were playing and became entranced in your playing. Honestly if I were blindfolded I could not tell the difference between guitars. Both instruments sounded great...but the player is what impressed me most!

@warrenbutterfield4208 Год назад

@sundaynightdrunk Год назад

@jimtakahashi4638 Год назад

_ From this, I can say you haven't listened to straightforward jazz guitar, which Carlton cannot really play, though he's a great fusion guitarist with fantastic touch (tone making).

@MattyK-USA Год назад

355 or 335? Both are great guitars, but I know how many times I've "fat-fingered" 355 for some reason. Fun fact, guys like Larry Carlton and Skunk Baxter often made their own leads, and auditioned with them to get the gig. Baxter's "Peg" solo is a great example. Aaaaand... I bet you already know that 🤷‍♂🙂

@robertd.128 Год назад

@@MattyK-USA Hi Matty... Yes 355 is correct. At one time in the 1960's it was Gibson's "Top of the line" semi-hollowbody as shown in their catalog. Mine was a 1966 Cherry Red with the Stereo Varitone and Bigsby tailpiece option. I traded my 345 and $500 for it back in the late 60's when I saw it hanging up (used) at Alex's Music Store on 48th St. in New York City. I had that 355 from the late 60's until around 2012. I loved that 355 but when I began studying Jazz the neck at the nut was too thin (under 1 11/16") so I switched over to a 1988 Natural Finish Gibson L4 that I loved. For the record I owned • Sears Silvertone Guitar (amp in the case) balck with sparkle • 60"s Fender Mustang (daphne blue) • Gibson 330 (Cherry Red) • Gibson Goldtop Les Paul • Gibson 340 (Cherry Red) • Gibson 345 (Cherry Red) • Gibson 355 (Cherry Red) • 1988 Gibson L4 (Natural) and a back-up Gibson 2010 L4 (Sunburst), Except for the L4... I never owned more than one guitar at a time.

Yes its amazing how good the lower end guitars are these days (compared to when I first started playing). You can still find a few dogs in the batch but most sellers have free return policies if you don't like them. The biggest thing with the lower priced guitars is having to do the setups and adjustments yourself. Thats one way they tend to cut the pricing too (which isn't an issue if you've built up your tool collection).

I’ve never bonded with a real 335 for whatever reason, but the pickups and feel are perfect to me. More than anything, the fact that Larry now plays an H7 in live settings over his famous vintage 335 says volumes about his confidence in their quality and adherence to his high standards.

I'm not spending $7,000 on one just because Bonamassa's name is on it but I'd be okay with dropping around $3k on one in the used market.

I played one at Sweetwater last month and was very impressed. My buddy has the same Bonomassa as you, Tim so I 100 percent agree with your assessment.

thanks for the thorough and helpful review!

@andrewhahn3455 Год назад

Sounds lovely! Thanks so much!

@jambimon Год назад

These Sire guitars really are amazing. Seems like prices are going to have to go up eventually. Supply and demand... Great playing as usual Tim. You rock!

@hairlab9646 Год назад

I think the prices are going to go down now that people realize that 7k...or even 2k buys them a headstock logo and zero extra tone.

@damham5689 Год назад

I hope Sire prices dont go up. Then they wont be accessible to many players.

My Epiphone Gibson Inspired By 335 is an awesome cheaper version too. It’s crazy how good some of these cheaper options are.

@CellZealot Год назад

Completely agree...and I have had an es-175 for 40 years. My Epiphone 335 IBG is every bit as nice as my Gibson, although very different. I can't put it down...

Any brand that has Larry Carlton and Marcus Miller approving their guitars has got to be worth looking at, the Sire basses are incredible value too.

makes me want sell off my over priced gibson

@FakeGlasses Год назад

Everything you play is so tasteful and record-ready. It's crazy. Years of experience on display in every video. I've always wanted a 335 but the prices and plethora of options has overwhelmed me. Will check out the Sire and some 2k varieties.

Wow, what a delightful in-depth view. Thank you so much I too am a huge Larry Carlton fan. I purchased his Les Paul a few months ago and of course had to do a bunch of Larry Carlton covers. Not too many covers of this guy, I'm not sure why? He's just truly remarkable and you sir are a very tasteful player yourself again thanks so much

@steveo44 Год назад

I actually prefered the sound of the sire. Very interesting. I've played the sire strat and was really impressed with it. Carlton wouldn't put his name to junk!

@ev25zv Год назад

Well, it looks like he has.

@DavidPerry-ui2qz Год назад

Seriously wtf …. That Sire is just trashing the Gibson sound wise. Listened back 3 times just to be sure what I was hearing. Unbelievably cool!! 🤘🎸🤘

Thanks for the great review Tim

The smile at 4:09 when Tim nails the lick! Pure joy.

Great playing as always. The Gibson does sound sweeter, but the Sire is not bad. I have owned a 1967 Gibson 335 which was just too heavy for me. I replaced it with a EART E-335 which is about 3/4 the weight and the sound and setup on these inexpensive 335 models is exceptional. Time for another shootout for 335 models maybe. EART make great guitars. I own the Sire T7 telecaster with two point tremolo and humbuckers, a great guitar with super neck setup. Thanks for your review. Dave.

I love watching u play my friend..its how guitar was intended to be played..with passion..feeling every note..and most of all..just having fun

@jackschijven8219 Год назад

Very nice Sire. Nice in tone and looks. Insightful comparison. Thanks.

@deanallen927 Год назад

Those parts are genius. They sit down in the song perfectly. So much nuance. It must have taken you forever to learn that.

Thankyou for going that far into the sftm riff

The way you play "Run To You" just sounds so goooood. All the little things combined sound like heaven to my ears

@GuitarversumSandraSherman Год назад

It's interesting they changed the narrow nut width of 40mm to the standard of 43mm now. The one I have (I have a review on that on my channel for the first edition) has the 40mm, and while it's very comfy for me, most of my viewers said it's a no-go for them. I think that's why Sire changed the specs on the 2nd revision of the H7.

@PaddyVt Год назад

It's amazing what's available today at reasonable prices. I love my older guitars (going back to 1964, older on my ma dos and banjos) but my 2010 Guilds are right there as a working musician. Good luck to all on the contest!

@markrogers957 Год назад

Thanks for this vid and all you do. It was fun!

@f.duranleau4416 Год назад

Thanks Tim! The Sire sounds really good! After all it's all in the player's hands...My first 335 style guitar was a used late 70's Yamaha SA-2000 that I paid $450. A couple of years ago I bought a used Gibson ES-333 for $1,000. I upgraded the pickups and now that guitar is amazing!
