************************
Welcome to my Sire H7 Review! Larry Carlton teamed up with Sire one again to give birth to the Sire H7 semi-hollow electric guitar.
In my review we'll check the sound, the specifications and what you can do to make a good guitar a great guitar.
The Sire H7 is a precise clone of Larry's beloved Gibson 335 from teh 70s. He now uses his Sire H7 guitar on tour and leaves the Gibson back home.
The Sre H7 Jazz guitar has a very low price tag. Let's see if the quality can surpass the price tag, or if there have to fix one or the other issue.
I'll also change the neck pickup for a Seymour Duncan Seth Lover to see if the sound improves. We'll have a direct sound comparisson between the original Sire H7 pickups and the Seth Lover pickups in the jazz guitar.
If you like my Sire H7 guitar review please give it a thumbs up, share the video and subscribe my channel. I have some good jazz guitar reviews up here in my " Jazz guitar Gear Reviews" playlist. Check it out!

Enjoy, Sandra :-)
I was one of Larry cariltons many guitar tecks for around 3 years, I've played and changed strings on his famous Gibson 335 many times. What a wonderful instrument it truly is. I would like to try one of these guitars. Larry is a really great guy and is really great to work for. A real pro !!!
Have you had a chance to?
What is your opinion on the neck width issue?
@@JackTheSkunk I only played a Sier once just for a minute, so I don't have any opinion on the neck.

❤🎉🤗😘 Schön dich Wiederzusehen Sandra. Du versüßt mir den Abend
Great review, Sandy! That axe looks just awesome. Agree on the SL pickups, they're much clearer and more low end.
I purchased a black one with gold hardware, which I never thought I would like but I got a magnificent price and couldn't resist. I've been playing for about 3 years and feel I'm learning at a fast pace (I'm also 70 years of age). I like blues with a little jazzy mixed in and feel this guitar fits right in.
Really liked the Seth Lover SD pickup once it was installed and could hear quite a difference in the high end register. Thanks for the review. I'm not a Jazz player but I like to watch reviews on guitars that I will potentially get. Getting the whole picture in different styles always helps me. Love your content 🎉😊
Thank you! Glad it helps making a decision.
Another practical, succinct, yet thorough guitar revue. Thank You!
Great review. Good sound test going back and forth between the two.
This was a truly helpful review-and on my first time to see your channel in my feed.
Welcome to the channel, Mark! ❤️ BTW, the new H7 series now has a 43mm nut width.
Absolutely excellent playing! Yes, the Seth Lover PU is going to sound warmer as it is lowpassing the signal more than the Carlton's. True PAF's tend to be warmer seeing as Seth created those as well for Gibson. This H7 is suited for Fusion music, which is/was Larry's staple.
The Seth Lover and H7 pickups both sound great. Just depends on the vibe you need. Nice playing, too.
Excellent review!
Thanks for the review. I preferred the Lover pickup in the neck postion. It was a little fuller in the bass and less bright to my ear.
Great Review. Thank You 👍🏻
A superb review, thank you! I actually liked the stock pickups better, they seemed to have a stronger, more interesting tone.
It's a question of taste but i agree whit you...Cleaner, clearer sound.
Very informative. It gave me a good point of reference for my recently acquired, Chinese made, 335 style guitar. As to buying one, I have big hands and the narrow neck is a deal breaker, however I think I’ll try the Seymour Duncan pickup on your recommendation.
I love a truly candid opinion on just about anything... Difference in pickups? Not really noticeable through my phone - but the pots swap is great advice! "Any chain is only as strong as it's weakest link."
The most useful insight, to me, was the neck width/string spacing comment - that's a really significant dimension for me. Thanks again!!!
Glad it's helpful. It's funny Larry picked sich a narrow neck, but I guess he was used to it from his Gibson. He has pretty large hands.
I really learn a lot from your guitar reviews. My hands are about the same size as your’s and my right shoulder tightens up when I play guitars with wide bouts. Recently I purchased a Comins GCS-1ES. It’s a smaller guitar like that gorgeous De’Angelico you have. I was unable to find that instrument in Canada so I checked out the Comins, it’s a gem that I think you’d find similar to your De’Angelico. I vote for Seymour’s Seth Lover. Thank you as always for everything you share with guitarists. Your guitar arrangements are marvellous and I love how reliable and easy it is to purchase pdf’s etc through your website. Happy New Year🎉
What a geat buy, Danile! I'd love one of those, but custom fees are very high here.
Great review. I have one of these guitars and it has become my go-to jazz guitar. The input jack on mine came apart at the start of a gig. So I recommend getting that replaced with a heavy duty jack and a locking nut. Its also a very heavy guitar but that helps the sustain. Its an incredible guitar for the money. The thin neck is probably not good if you are a finger picker. but for chording and single note playing, it is fantastic.
I was very surprised by the quality. The frets are perfectly rounded at the edges, they just didn't polish them. But that's easy dobe and acceptable for a €600 guitar.
Ditto, I recommend switching the jack for a switch craft right away. I did mine as soon a I noticed the stock one slipping.
Hi Sandra...you do a very honest, accessible down to earth review, which is a pleasure to listen to. The fat warmth of the Seth Lover is my preference.🙂👍
My fav pickups 😍
I love the mellow sound with the Seth Lover pickups. It was to me a warm richer tone without a muddled sounding muddled. The new pickups brings out out the lowes. Thanks for sharing the info on the pickups and guitar review.
Couldn't agree more!
~ good/helpful review - thank you
The Seth Lover to my ear was a little more smoothly balanced across the strings. Not really a kick-arse difference but you certainly played better through it.
I don't think you can expect the full-range ultra-woody beauty of a s/coil jazz-box sound from this sort of guitar. They can be played standing right in front of 100watt Marshall Plexis dialled loud enough to play a farm and there are compromises. They're used a lot in fusion for that reason - a jazz-box hollow body would explode!
I find similar. I have two H7s, a humbucker and a P90 job but my Gibson es335 remains my favourite to play. Small margins but the price difference is huge and I can play a Sire in a bar gig where I wouldn't consider a high-dollar guitar and that's an important consideration for me. Lovely playing, thank you.
I'm glad they made the secobd version with a regular nut width (43mm) and the P90 is an interesting variation.
I'm looking at getting one of these so I really appreciated the review. For jazz, I prefered the fuller, bassier sound of the Seth Lover pickups but I would have been interested to hear the H7 neck pickup with the tone rolled off a bit. In other reviews online that warms up the sound. Of course that does not address the "thinner" sound on the lower strongs.
I just received mine today in see thru red. First Impressions are this is a great guitar for the money. The finish is flawless, I like both neck and bridge pickups and wouldn’t bother to change them. Nice review!
Did you get the new model with the 43mm standard nut or the older one with the 40mm nut?
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman the 43mm nut, I have big 🙌!
I bought exactly the same guitar earlier this year and absolutely love it👍We have 7 Sire Larry Carlton guitars that are all outstanding 👍Sire released a P90 version of this and a few other models a couple of months back that we are itching to try 👍
A P90 version sounds great! Didn't see that here in Europe. Although I don't like the P90 hum, but the sound is great.
Thnaks for the excelent review! I've been eyeing this guitar and I am now convinced!
Glad to be of help. The new series has a 43mm nut, I heard. That's the standard Gibson nut width, while this one from 2022 has 40mm nut.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Thanks Sandra!
A very nice review..i follow your channel and i greatly appreciated your content..keep up the great work !!!!
Thank you bunches! I'm glad my cobtent is helpful ☺️
great review, thanks
Thanks for watching!
Came to check out the guitar , I know nothing about jazz guitar but enjoyed your review very much. Unfortunately I don't have your highly trained ear so both pick ups sounded great to me and in fairness you are one of those people who could make a broom handle and a piece of string sound good.
Aawh, thank you 😍
I picked up a L7 this past summer and it’s becoming my favorite guitar.I’m thinking about getting the H next.
Good choice!
Great review! The SD pickup sounded better to my ears - warmer and with a nice mellowness - the stock p/up for me is a little harsh sounding
Excellent review and answered a lot of my questions. Seth lover for me much better tone. Thanks for sharing.
Glad this was helpful 😊
Nice assessment and demo (nice playing as usual!👏), Sandra! The H7 was at the top of my list for my last guitar purchase, due to its value. Plus, I got to see and hear Larry play his H7 at a show, which really did a lot to “sell it!” However, being mostly a Tele guy for live playing over the past decade, that lower bout width kinda convinced me to look into a 339 style guitar. Then I found an Epiphone ES339 that was mint, with a brand new hard shell case, and wet sanded neck (which is what I prefer - smooth as butter), and Plek’d for perfect intonation and setup! $645US. Very comfortable to play under the arm pit, and the input jack is on the bottom, like my Teles. I might eventually swap pickups, but it “plays” perfect. For me. Couldn’t pass it up. Your Seth Lover sounds much warmer, and balanced. A great pickup! Nice post!!
I should've gotten me a 339 style as well, the 335 is really huge for me. But other than that I'm very satisfied now with the H7. Other than the frets it's a rather good guitar for the price tag. Congrats on your great 339 purchase, great deal!
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman I agree with both of you regarding the 335 type body. The 339 size and shape are so much more comfortable for a lot of players, which is why it was created in the first place.
For that jazz sound the Seth Lover is smooth however for my playing style I like the original Carlton pickup. Both are great. Thanks for the review.
The Sire pickup is really good in a band context.
Thanks for your honest assessment - I have a Gibson ES-335, but I am thinking about selling and getting this for economic reasons, and I will consider your advice!
This is nice and I own it but nowhere in the league of your Gibson
Saw it in your Mr. Bojangles video and was wondering when you do a review on it. Looks beauiful! The original pickups sound good to my ears.
It was perfect for that tune :-)
I think both pickups are great and they do sound different. I had seen some tubes where a couple commented similar and said the tone knob would adjust to a different level. One site ohmed the H7 pickups and said they were quite good. I ordered one and hope to see how it sounds with a yet to arrive DV Jazz little amp too. Perhaps I'll learn enough to play super well... It would have been interesting to see the difference in ohm readings.,
Bought one yesterday, love it with the original pickups.😊
Good choice!
What a beautiful lead in!!
Really liked the Seth Lover pickup! Smooth and sweet, and warm.
Thais why it's currently my favorite pickup 😊. So much clarity, but still very warm. The Sire pup cuts through the mix better, though.
Seth Lover p/u sweetened the low range tone, and cut the twangy highs, which were unusually high for a semi hollow neck pickup.
Seth Lover reminded me of the Bill Laurence L500 pickup I put in the neck position in my Ibanez Roadstar II in 1983. I could play everything from Van Halen, Floyd, rockabilly, jazz, etc, on that guitar after installing that pickup.
I would definitely look into installing a Seth Lover if I bought this guitar (honestly, at that price point, I would probably buy an Ibanez Artcore semi hollow body. I had one I had to sell in 2007 due to spine injury. That was only$300 and after I set it up it was SWEET. )
Thank you for your videos.
Liked the SL pickups! Great to hear the difference…
Beautiful looking and sounding guitar. Want one, please and thank you!
Just bought one with P90's, tried both, the HB had nicer bridge, but the P90 swung it on the neck, suggest people do the same on pickups, to see what best suits them, as far as build and finish, both are impeccable.
I appreciated hearing the two pickups. I have not heard that on any other videos. I would think of the Seth pickup for my Ibanez AF.
Definitely worth it!
Very good and helpful review. The comfort and playability aspects that you cover (e.g. 40mm nut and the resultant string spacing) are particularly helpful. Thanks for your review.
Glad it was helpful!
I vote for the original pickup, it really articulated better your great touch.
Hey sandra, the intro song reminds me of an arrangement of same old blues... it would be fantastic if youd do a tutorial on your intro tune it sounds stunning... thanks for your incredible videos, yesterday ive learnt your nature boy tutorial... warm grrreetings from austria
It sounds a bit like "Georgia On My Mind". I think it was lesson material a student brought over from another teacher, but I'm not sure (old and firgetful 😁).
Very sympathico walkthrough and demo, really love(d) it! (German actually is my native tongue as well, but the internet is all English, so... ;-) ). Didn't hear _that much_ of a difference between the original pickups and the Seth lover, but... I'm sure, some will have identified a noteable difference. Love your playing, really jazzy feel and very versatile, nice, as they say! Thanks!
P.S. Just compared the specs you provided with those of my Greg Bennett RL-3 which is a smaller sized ES-335 copy made in the Samick factory in Indonesia and the body thickness and nut width are actually the same, it's got similar woods, a _one piece routed body design_ also from Mahogany, Mahogany neck and rosewood fretboard, rolled edges, Seymour Duncan designed pickups, I added locking tuners from Kluson, had some electronics rewiring done by the guitar tech as well as bone nut replacement and it was originally half the price of the Sire H7 at the time I got it from Gear4Music in Germany (still is half the price of the H7, more or less). Sound is very similar to the one you demo'd. So, for those who are on an even tighter budget, I can recommend this one in good conscience. You get to hear some of it on my channel, if interested.
Again, thanks!
Your sound assessment is spot on. From technical point - no real (read Gibson) ES-335 has ebony FB, bound F holes or bookmatched 2pc top, as it has always a one piece pressed plywood top and back .. so this here is a veneer. I understand why they call it H7 (even if they "copied" Carlton´s ES ), no way you can expect it to sound exactly like a 335.
Good review of what seems a solid, decent guitar. I recently bought a Strat, the H7 might be the next purchase.
Go for it!
Good review
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Seth Lover SD pickup! The low end definitely popped up in a very pleasant way. The highs are also sparkly. Excellent mod!
Thanks!
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Tabs for the intro part you're playing? Greetings from Braunschweig.
The Seth Lover pickup sounds much sweeter and rounder. Good change!! 👍👍👍
What a great review. Thanks.
Glad your dig it 😊
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman I did. Plus I really like your playing.
I believe the Seth Lover pickup is a good change for you . Not only warmer but a lot of possiblity for more bass tone depending on what kind of amp you choose !!
I agree, the alternate pickup has a much smoother sound👍🏻
Definitely the Seth Lover. Apart from the warmth and extra bass, i loved the way harder picking gave lovely extra sparkle.
Totally agree!
My dear Sandra, I prefer the Seth lover, it is warmer and congratulations for your videos, greetings from Edmonton Alberta in Canada
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it 😊
Very good review - I prefer the original pickups as they ar probably more versatile. But not a lot in it.
I was subscribed to your channel and then you disappeared… I was searching like mad because I remembered a video you did comparing affordable guitars but didn’t remember your name. I ended up buying an H7 a month ago and now you pop up on my recommended videos with this video. How strange is that? Please don’t disappear again. Glad I found You again:)
I post videos on a weekky basis. The algorithm must've worked against you. If you subscribe and click the bell notificatilns in one of my videos, that can't happen again 😊
super review!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you ♥
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman so this guitar is comparable to the epiphone Shermaton? Almost same price.
Which of these would you prefer?
Great job Sandra. I'm a little late to the party but I had to comment and say thank you for this very informative review of a guitar that I'm seriously thinking about getting. I did like the Lover PU but I think if you rolled the tone back a bit on the H7 you might get a little closer to the Lover tone. It might help until you can afford the Lover PU and install because you are so right about trying to work through F holes lol. I would love to know your thoughts. TY again!
Thanks for the Great review ....Just ordered one of these yesterday and already have the Seth Lovers ready to put in it. So this video only solidified my decision. The S.L. pick ups are slightly more articulate and the string volumes are more even sounding. This guitar will stay at home for chord melody work and not see a live gig. ( I think )
Exactly! Thanks for puting it into more eloquent words than I was able to. The string volumes are indeed more even with these pickups. I just made a new video, which you'll probably find interesting. I compared 3 of my jazz guitars that all have the Seth Lover pickups in them, but the guitars are very different in size and woods. Video will be up in 2 months I think.
great review! I have that guitar and I think it's amazing how it looks and sound for the price. BTW I know that the new runs of H7 and H7v will get a 43 mm nut due to high demand...
Yes, and they come with P90s!
Exactly what I wanted to hear and watch. I have as well a H7 and find the sound a bit spiky. However I’ll guess the guitar sound appeal to rock as well. But I think you made a point that I noticed as well. Just been considering different pickup options which can be a bit overwhelming so I appreciated your tips to improve this beautiful guitar. Thx!
May I ask you to which pots did you change? Linear, etc.. many thx
Sandra, you've done it again 🌺
❤️😊❤️
I have a 1968 Gibson ES 335 just like Larry Carlton and I can tell you the nut width is also 40mm or just over 1 1/2".
That's pretty narrow but I have small hands so it never really bothered me.
The other thing is the neck profile is a big C chunky one, great for anchoring your palm for big bends.
I just wanted to share this for comparison I was wondering if you could do a shootout with your /heritage (wonderful company) against the
LC Sire>
Love you channel and playing, /jazz rules.
Great playing
Duncan's all the way! You are great!
Thank you for the in depth review. I don't hear any real notable difference between the sound of the Sire v the lover PU maybe it feels different when you play it, but sound wise I doubt I could justify the cost of the PU change and surely you can dial in a bit more bottom end and eq . Considering one of these I'm not a Jazz player but kinda want to get a bit of jazz going on for my own developement. Thank you.
I don't play jazz, it's not my thing... but your review is really helpful.
Thanks from Bergamo, Italy 🇮🇹
Seth lover is a nice buttery sound but the original pickup has a decent sound too. Great video!
Absolutely!
The Seth Lover pickup had a smoother, more jazzy sound, with less of a a bite, but the original pickup sounded pretty good anyway in my opinion (but of course I'm not a professional). The decision to upgrade I guess hinges on the style of music you want to play. Seth Lover is better for jazzy sounds.
Preferred Seth Lover - fabulous sound and great video- Thank you
Seth Lover sounds great. Nice guitar
I almost bought one right in this color. The neck felt really weird to me but I think I should have given it a shot. The guitar sounds really good and is well built. I liked your pickup swap. It’s a friendlier sound if that makes sense.
Yeah, the necks needs some time to get acustomed to.
I bought this guitar based on its value, playability and quality, which are all undeniable for the money. I have small fat hands with short stubby "sausage' fingers, so the narrow string spacing at the nut is perfect for me. While its true that the H7 pickup is slightly brighter, its not brittle or biting, either by itself or in a mix. I play through a DV Mark 'Little Jazz' amp with 8" speaker, which makes the guitar sound even better. On the neck pickup, I roll off the tone and volume slightly, then add just a touch of bass and mid on the amp, with the treble straight up. The result is a beautiful, sweet, smooth mellow jazz tone that works for me in any setting. I also have a Sire T7 that gets a great jazz tone for a solid body with the same 'Little Jazz' amp. Then, I take my Helix Stomp XL & turn the T7 into a monster rock guitar for playing covers or metal. If I only bring one guitar to a gig where multiple genres are required, I bring the T7. Then, I can go from playing light jazz dinner music, to rocking' out for the after-dinner dancing with the same guitar and amp! The 'Little Jazz' turns into a beast with the Helix. Of course, for larger rooms, it must go through the PA. But it works great. Plus, I can carry my entire rig into the gig in one trip and don't need a cart! For strictly Jazz gigs, the H7 has been my preferred go-to guitar. The playability, tone and warmth are unsurpassed by any other jazz guitars I've played, even those that are much more expensive. Carlton and Sire hit a home run here.
Raise the pickups on the bass side for more bass.. might work to bring more of that out in this guitar.
Wow it does have a sweet tone .I like your tone spectrum analysis ,good practical breakdown.Seems like the quality of all these knock offs are improving to the point of some consideration.But still nothing beats a vintage Gibson archtop.
Old wood that has been played a lot really sounds different. Like good old wine 😊.
Thank you, Sandra, I have one of these guitars and love it. As I was listening to your critique (which I appreciate) I was wondering if perhaps some of these issues could be addressed with an EQ pedal? I'm just starting to educate myself about Jazz. I probably would not go total Jazz, I'm into Robben Ford and a fusion of different styles but your channel has definitely inspired me.
Of course an EQ pedal helps. Us jazzers usually don't use pedals, though. But for your style it's perfect.
G'Day Sandra ... So glad I found your "channel"... Your 'understanding' & comments are enjoyable to view and listen too ... Yes... the ES-335 is a large guitar (?) possibly you would prefer the ES-339 (which I have)... but you would certainly "Luvvv" my Jazz Hollowbody Archtop with single Humbucker... and so: Large, Middling or Smaller (Auditorium/Orchestral) ??? I am thinking you would play 'ALL' to perfection... ... Am looking forward to more of your possible reviews ???? Cheers... Chris 🤠... (# Both Pick-ups sounded 'Good' but am thinking you made correct decision and choice for 'upgrade') ... (It is always "personal" taste for tones/woods/pick-ups... etc... and that is the Fun of variety of Guitars !!!!!!!) ☘ ...
Welcome to the jazz ride on my channel, Christopher. I agree, a guitar is a highly personal thing. And I'm so glad that therw are so many different tyoes available. The Seth Lover pup us the perfect mix of great dynamucs (something that's more of a feel for the player than audibly perceived by the listener) and clarity in tone, while still having a warm tone.
Thanks!
Thanks so much, Louis! ❤️ Next week I'm back with Chord Melody lessons, yay! 😊
The ebony fretboard will brighten up the tone , I think I could live with the original pick-up , excellent review,the best on you tube 💫
Thank you kindly! Yes, Ebony has fast attack and us a bit brighter. But I still find this guitar to be surprisingly warm sounding, even with the original pups.
I own the Heritage Red version and it is fantastic. I don't use mine for Jazz, mostly Blues and Rock and it does what I need from the pickups through various amps and effects. And I have large hands but didn't have any problem getting around on it. Only took moments to get the feel for it. Nice review!
I think it's whatever purple prefer, but most could get used to it. I mean I know large purple with large hands who play the ukulele ir the violin without problems 😁.
I want a Heritage hollow body. I just don't have $3,200.😪
What a superb guitarist! Excellent Review..
Thank you kindly! ❤️
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman I was singing Hard Times to what you were playing The Ray Charles Classic!
very nice! it's a good looking guitar, and it sounds good when you play it. i have a d angelico mini dc. a smaller body semi hollow. it's a bit darker than your guitar, and the bridge pick up is too hot for this type. but i play different type of music. nice job on the review!
I just bought the Mini DC Deluxe myself. Great guitar, will do a video review!
Got the same Guitar . Seth Lovers sound nice and Deep . I like it ...
Nice review Sandra....the best part is no stupid distortion!! 😂
The narrowness of the neck is problematic because half the time I play with a thumbpick and fingers. ...a little extra width would be nice.
There's a version 2 out now with rdgular neck wudth (43mm) and P9p pickups.
I put Lovers in an Epiphone dot, and Pearly Gates in an Epiphone LP. Changed the pots . Saved about 7k.
Love your playing. For me keep on the Sire neck P'pups.
Cheers.
Hey I absolutely love my Sire!!!!! For the price point it’s an absolutely beautiful guitar.
Il brano di introduzione al video è bellissimo, devo impararlo!
It's just something I heard from a student a while ago. I don't have Tabs for that.
@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Proverò ad impararlo dal video. 👍
Hi Sandra.
I liked the original pickup as is. But boy was i surprised with the S.L....to me it was drifting into Gibson territory. Great video too as always. Thank you.
I actually like the SL over any Gibson puckup. I have 2 Gibson guitars and they both sound quacky compared to the SL. I never realized that until I played my first SL.
The differences between the pickups for me appeared to be very minor and not noticable when not in a direct A-B comparison. This may however feel differently when actually playing the guitar.
I liked the sound of the Sire pickups; more clarity. The Set Lover sounds nice; less high end, flat tone.
I don't know where you listened on, but the SL definitely had a lot more clarity, despute the warm tone.
I'm with you on the Seth pickup. Much more articulate tone.
Damn I'm drooling over that finish 🤤🍊
It's like a corny sunset, but it's awesome 😍.
I just got mine, but the new alternate model with Sire's P90s in as stock. Be interesting to hear the difference. I preferred the Seymour Duncan, smoother, more vintage rolled off treble, sounded more like a neck pickup, where the stock sounded almost more of a 'mid' pickup type sound. There was more woomp in the lower mids, and I think because the treble was less jarry, the bass came to the fore more for a better overall balance. And on in Ross Campbell's demo of the similar built D'Angelico Premier DC, I preferred replacement vintage Mojotones to the stock Seymour Duncan 'designed' pickups. Again, a smoothening of the treble effect. In both cases, the effect is that it sounds like a much more 'expensive' guitar. And the mid setting became nice usable with the Mojotone's where the stock sounded unpleasant by comparison on mid setting. Pots and switches on mine will be replaced, when I get a Mojotone p90 neck pickup to try. I mostly use the neck pickup too.
I will have to try the P90 version once it's available here.
Sandra, I agree. After playing my Gibson Howard Roberts Fusion III, my Gibson ES-335 feels a little awkward.
Ha, you play the same guitars as me 😊.
