Designed as the flagship of the range, the Q7 embodies Sire?s contemporary approach: precise craftsmanship, selected components, and meticulous finishes. The revisited double cutaway offers exemplary playability and excellent balance whether seated or standing. The TS finish highlights the grain of the flamed maple top without compromising the organic responsiveness of a mahogany body and a set neck that promote sustain.
The Q7 TS is aimed at intermediate to advanced players seeking a versatile and reliable instrument both in the studio and on stage. Its playing comfort and stability appeal to pop/funk for precise rhythms, rock/hard rock for powerful riffs, and modern metal for dense saturations. Its quick response and clear definition also suit technical approaches (prog, fusion, articulated solos).
Mahogany provides robust lows and full-bodied mids, while the ebony fingerboard enhances attack and note clarity. The flamed maple veneer top elevates aesthetics and adds a touch of brightness. The two Sire LC Q humbuckers (dual coil) deliver a wide spectrum: bright cleans, dynamic crunch, and generous gain, shaped by the 5-position selector and straightforward electronics (volume/tone). The Wilkinson vibrato offers smooth action, and the locking tuners secure tuning even during intense effects. The 25" / 635 mm scale length provides moderate tension ideal for bending, and the 10" / 254 mm radius balances chord comfort with solo precision.
To get the most out of the instrument, choose electric strings 9-42 (flexibility) or 10-46 (attack and tuning stability), a comfortable strap, and a quality 6.35 mm jack cable. A stable guitar stand is advised for home, studio, and backstage use.
