Classic T-Shaped Body
While Sire’s T7 FM model departs quite heavily from the original T-typeblueprint, it does pay homage to this seminal instrument with an orthodoxAlder body that guarantees a tight, balancedtone the perfect tonal platform for the thick-sounding pickups.
However, Sire has put its own spin on this recognisable body shape by adding a shallow contour at the back of the lower cutaway. This minor yet thoughtful construction tweak therefore enables easier access to the upper frets, so that there are less limits to your creativity!
Roasted Maple Neck
Many modern high-end instruments comefitted with roastedMaple necks, yetSire has somehow managed to fit its affordable T7 FM with one providing you with a truly premiumlook and feel. “Roasting” isaprocess that is used to removeall of the natural moisture retained by a tonewood, which ultimately darkens the material and makes it far less vulnerable to warping when exposed to varying climates. This means that the T7 FM’s neckis incrediblystable vastly improving tuning stability.
Powerful ‘LC Super-M’Humbuckers
Sire has equipped its gorgeous T-inspiredmodel with a set of newly-designed ‘LC Super-M’ humbuckers. Delivering a rich andpunchy sound, these pickups have plenty of output without being over-the-top ensuringthat your playing dynamics and technical nuances are heard for an expressive voice.
A 5-way pickup lever switch allows you to attain various full-humbucking and split-coil combinations. This makes the T7 FM a highly-versatile guitar that’s adaptable for most musical styles from country and jazz, toclassic rock and even metal!
