Larry Carlton T7 TS LH ( GAS Springs Eternal)





Now available in lefty at 659 euro, about 100 more than a right handed one, but at least they are making lefties.

I reversed the image of a wrong handed one

Mild green with a rosewood board is now available in lefty, also vintage white.

Both with what looks like an anodised guard.

The green one can be seen in action in this video posted by Andertons a few days ago,

(starting at 14 minutes) ..



==============================

Really nice Axe !

The Pale Green is superb. Still the 3T sunburst looks great.
I've been unfollowing Anderton's since the shitsorm surrounding Victory Amps but Danish is a great player.
Looking forward for your thoughts & tests

The green one is calling me ....

What shitstorm with Victory ?

I suppose I could google it but .....

Andertons has some money in victory, he didnt say it so ppl say that he is not objective.
Anyway, most of the reviews are not on youtube.

Lee Anderton, not Anderton's, hide to the public he was a shareholder of the company and told for 10 years "the guys at Victory Amps" to promote and push the brand like it was genuine.

He was fuckin biased the whole time.
On a human level, I do find it appalling.

Even if I've never tried V's Amps, I was like, "yeah I should try this out".

Anywas we were off topic, are you gonna pull the trigger on the green one ?

Thanks for the info, as they say over here "that's one sneaky fecker"

In stock at Andertons, 549 sterling UK pounds





I might send Thomann an email, see when they might have one, they seem to be the main EU dealer for Sire.

Andertons is a music shop. It's always biased. And it's less shaddy than the internet so-called neutral reviewers who recieved free products from the companies.

When it's clearly advertise you received stuff for free and make an objective review, it's part of the deal.
I've been endorsed by brands in the late 2010's and were really honest, if something sucked, we had to say it, both to the company first then to our audience.

It's not a trend anymore with the so generation of self-proclamed "influencers"

Especially those guys that receive a free guitar or amp, and then claim that they don't get paid for the review !

True that,
The colors of both body / headstock wood & pickguard is great tho!
I wonder what kind of pickups are installed too ?

Self-note : Youtube search later,

Definitely a classic tele-twang set

I just received a S7, these are gorgeous...

The finish is flawless, fretting is way above my Gibsons and Fenders. The baked Maple is gorgeous. I had plante of guitars that are worth 4 to 6 Times this one, and I cannot see a better deal for a worktool that you do not fear to bring on stage

Nice !

I still haven't taken the plunge and got a Sire yet.

I have emailed Thomann for price / availability of the green T7 though

@ shadow_gallery
C'est celle-là ?

Oui c'est celle là!

So I got a response from Thomann .. they say they can't get a mild green T7 with rosewood board in lefty

Bummer

It seems to be a regular production model in lefty on the Sire site, not an Andertons exclusive.

I'll just contact Sire directly to see what the situation is.

Niveau sonorité, les simples sont très strat, ni vintage, ni moderne, quelque chose entre les 2. Légèrement scooped, avec du niveau et de l'attaque. Presque comme si il y avait un compresseur.
Sur le double, c'est pas très moderne, ça prend bien la disto sans être extrêmement propre ni creusé.
Ca fait vraiment bien le taf. Je la teste sur scène vendredi soir, on va voir...
Je ne l'ai pas branchée sur mon set live, juste sur un Yamaha DG que j'ai à la maison, mais que je connais bien pour y passer toutes mes guitares.

Hello,

Retour après quelques concerts:

- c'est vraiment très confortable, le manche est top. Ca présente bien, les micros sont excellents et n'ont pas besoin d'être changés.
- l'accastillage (vibrato, mécaniques) est de très bonne facture, c'est fiable. Je ne réaccorde pas en 2h de concert malgré l'utilisation gentille du vibrato
- seul bémol c'est le bouton de volume qui est trop près et/ou trop lâche on peut vite baisser le volume par inadvertance en jouant.

Mais pour le prix c'est imbattable, même en payant le double

My 2 cents

Ces Sire Larry Carlton sont vraiment une réussite

Just a quick update ...

I haven't followed up on the Sire T7 with rosewood as I'm not really going to wait 3 to 6 months for a mass produced factory guitar.

I'm sure even if Thomann could get them it will be a long wait. Did that once with a Schecter, that took a year to get, not doing that again.

If one appears in stock at a fair price I may go for it, but I doubt that will happen.

Besides you never know when a nice G&L may appear for sale
