Larry Carlton T7 TS

Great guitar for the price

Good:

-sound

-neck and fretboard feel because of rolled fretboard edges

-holds tuning

Bad:

-mine is very heavy. But it felt and sounded good so I did not want to send it back to replace.

Subjective negative:

-hate picguard color, replaced it with a white one.

Sire T7

This is a great guitar! It is difficult to understand how Sire manages to sell it at this price range. On the other hand, maybe what should be difficult to understand is why Fender and other brandes charge anywhere around €1800 for a similar quality guitar. It really makes you wonder about brand value.

Apart from a minor black mark underneath the laker, and believing that it came like this from the factory and no other obscure thing happened, the guitar looks great, plays great and is well worth the price.

Great T shaped Sire guitar

I rate this max points because the quality and features you get at this price point are amazing compared to say Fender.

Some of pros for me:

-- The biggest surprise was the roasted maple neck. It feels amazing! Very smooth with no issues sliding around the neck.

-- Rolled fingerboard edges.

-- Staggered locking tuners.

-- Sounds great (although not a "vintage" sound) for anything except metal (too thin or too muddy sounding for me)

-- Frets were polished with no sharp edges.

Some cons:

-- Fret bevel is too close to the strings and it makes it very easy for a string to slide off the fretboard when doing bends or vibrato. I have to play pretty carefully to avoid it.

-- My T7 is around 3.8 kg which is a bit heavy. I like light guitars.

-- Minor cosmetic issues that don't affect playability.

Overall I can easily recommend T7 to anyone who wants a more modern T shape and doesn't mind a non vintage tone.
