Nicely specked guitar, but they forgot to polish the frets...
wristblade 22.09.2021
The guitar is light, around 3.4-3.2 kg. It is very playable, in fact neck comfort and playability are excellent. Neck playability is very important for a set-neck guitar imho, since you can't change it... The matte finished neck is something I enjoyed. The headstock is gorgeous.

It sound bright unplugged and plugged, unlike a LP. If you want LP sound, look elsewhere.

The controls cavity is shielded along with the cavity cover, and the pots look fine quality, made in Koreea, and larger than alpha pots.

The intonation is spot-on except G string where it's a hair off.

Neck relief and action are reasonable. Not super low action but fine for my taste. It's OK imho.

The bad: They did not polish the frets... They did polish the fret ends, which is very nice, but not the frets themselves. This is embarrassing for this price range. Steel wool solves it but I would rather spend my time differently. It feels awkward to bend strings. The nut exterior corners are roughly rounded with a file. But the nut is made of bone, probably not slotted and initially just a bar that needed filing.
The most sensitive finish area is where the neck joins the upper body of the guitar, in general. It is not perfect, I have seen worse.

Tone controls behave a bit odd, as they brighten up the tone too fast, but this is a known issue reported by all players. Probably the tone cap value is too low, but I couldn't find it printed on the capacitor.

There are some dark spots on the neck binding... looking as if it is fretboard wood splinters, but I did not manage to remove them by simply rubbing them off.

The fretboard was dry, but some lemon and almond oil fixed it.

Excellent

Started by purchasing the S7 from Sire. And based on the build quality of that one, I hurried up and snagged up the rest of the versions. I was not disappointed!
For all of them: they should cost 2-3 times their current price.
Get one before they are gone.

Überraschung
Thomas110 30.08.2021
Hab in letzter Zeit immer mal wieder was zu den Sire Gitarren gelesen oder in Youtube angesehen. Als ich jetzt gesehen hab, dass es die L7 auch in schwarz gibt, hab ich gleich zugeschlagen.

Die Gitarre kam, großes Lob an Thomann, am Tag nach der Bestellung an. Wie immer bestens verpackt.

Die Sire ist bestens verarbeitet, top eingestellt, super Bundierung (hab lediglich die Bünde nachpoliert), keinerlei Macken, tolle Optik, ordentliche Locking tuner und überraschend gute Pickups (die wollte ich eigentlich sofort tauschen). Alle Schrauben sitzen, nichts wackelt, solider Toggle switch, sehr aufgeräumtes Elektronikfach, die Potis funktionieren einwandfrei. Da gibt's rein gar nichts zu meckern. Zudem ist sie relativ leicht (unter 4 kg) und hängt sehr ausgewogen am Gurt.
Der matt lackierte Hals (mittlere Dicke) spielt sich super bis in die höchsten Lagen.
Einziger kleiner Kritikpunkt. Der Gurtpin ist zu nah am Hals. Mit security Locks wird's hier sehr eng!

Insgesamt ein super Instrument für's Geld. In der Preisklasse gibt's wahrscheinlich nix besseres. Für Anfänger sowieso, aber auch für Fortgeschrittene, eine Gitarre die Spaß macht. Mal sehen, ob ich die Tonabnehmer noch tausche ....

Sehr viel Gitarre für wenig Geld
Arno1703 16.10.2023
Ich habe im Laufe der Zeit u. a. schon einige Paulas von Gibson besessen (Standard, Classic, Custom) und habe mir mehr aus Neugier aufgrund der guten Testberichte die Larry Carlton L7 black bestellt. Ich bin sehr positiv überrascht: die Gitarre ist gut lackiert (am Halseinsatz zum Korpus besser als meine schwarze LP Custom aus dem Jahr 2000), lässt sich sehr gut spielen und hat einen beeindruckend guten Sound. Schon unverstärkt klingt sie sehr offen und perkussiv - allerdings erst nach dem Aufziehen neuer Saiten. Die Saiten bei Auslieferung waren zwar gut eingestellt, aber leider teilweise schon oxidiert (h und e-Saite). Sie ist relativ leicht und wird auch aus diesem Grund wohl neben meiner Schecter Solo II Custom eher öfter gespielt werden als die Gibson LP Custom. Absolute Kaufempfehlung - selbst wenn sie teurer wäre. Diese Gitarre muss keinen Vergleich mit deutlich teureren Instrumenten scheuen.
