Description
The Sire T7 New Gen in Dark Forest takes the classic T-style blueprint and refines it for modern players who demand more from their main guitar. With upgraded electronics, stainless steel frets, a super-comfortable neck and premium hardware throughout, it delivers that familiar snap and twang with added versatility, tuning stability and long-term reliability.
Designed in collaboration with Larry Carlton, the T7 New Gen keeps the timeless look and feel of a traditional T-style while quietly packing in a host of contemporary improvements. From the newly tuned LC Super-T pickup set to the compound radius fingerboard and locking tuners, everything is geared towards effortless playability and consistent performance on stage, in the studio or at home.
North American alder keeps the body resonant and balanced, while the comfortable C-shape maple neck and rolled Edgeless fingerboard edges make chords, bends and fast runs feel smooth under the fingers. Medium jumbo stainless steel frets not only feel slick but also resist wear, so your T7 will play great for years to come.
Plugged in, the LC Super-T pickups capture the essence of a great T-style guitar with added refinement. From bright, percussive bridge tones to warm, rounded neck sounds and everything in between, the T7 New Gen covers country, rock, pop, indie and worship with ease. Simple, intuitive controls let you focus on the music, not the settings.
Modern T-Style, Classic Feel
The familiar Sire T-style body shape and North American alder construction give the T7 New Gen a comfortable, well-balanced feel on a strap or on your lap. It retains the look and response players love from a traditional T-style, making it an easy transition if you are coming from a more vintage-inspired instrument.
Comfortable Neck with Edgeless Fingerboard
A hard maple neck with a comfortable C-shape profile and Edgeless rolled fingerboard edges makes the T7 New Gen feel broken-in from day one. Chords are easier to fret, long sessions are less fatiguing and position shifts feel seamless, whether you choose the maple or rosewood fingerboard option.
Stainless Steel Frets and Compound Radius
Medium jumbo 2.7 mm stainless steel frets offer a smooth, precise playing surface that resists wear far better than traditional fretwire. Combined with a 9.5 to 14 inch compound radius fingerboard, you get comfortable chording lower down the neck and effortless, choke-free bends higher up for expressive lead work.
LC Super-T Pickups and Premium Hardware
The newly tuned LC Super-T pickup set delivers refined T-style tones with excellent clarity and dynamic response, controlled via a simple three-way switch plus volume and tone. A vintage T bridge with brass saddles adds classic snap and sustain, while Sire premium locking tuners and a Graphtech Tusq XL nut help keep tuning rock solid through bends and heavy playing.
