The build quality on these is astonishingly good for a guitar in this price range. As you said, the tuning stability is rock solid - as is the intonation. This is even more impressive considering it uses three compensated brass saddles as opposed to six, which seems to be more common on non-Fender T-types. Zero complaints. Sire has outdone itself with the LC series.
This Summer, I bought a Sire S7 Transparent Blue. A beautiful instrument the neck too is so playable... my only issues was the bone nut was maybe cut on a Friday afternoon. The high E B and G strings were very buzzy because the slots were too deep. I tried 10's seeing if they might fix it but it didn't work, so I replaced the bone nut with one from Stewmac. A few frets needed more polishing, and one was too high. I replaced the Volume and Tone knobs just because they looked and felt really cheap. All simple fixes for a couple of bucks. Otherwise I absolutely love the sound and feel of this guitar.
Excellent ,well appointed and priced guitar . And some silky play'n bro...But at 8.38 lbs its a hand full of lumber that sells for north of $1000 Cn with-out even a gig bag ! ...here in the Rockies. I'm still haggle'n with the shop owner. LOL
Thanks man! Oh wow, didn’t realise they are that much over there!!! That’s a bit more than here! Cheaper to ship it over maybe??!🤔 Keep haggling else 😂
I built several guitars from bodies off ebay. One was 3lb 10 Oz swamp ash strat body and a warmoth neck. Probably have a total of 6-700 in it with tuners and good pickups. Neck is ebony ,Gibson scale for strat and stainless steel frets. That guitar would cost me over 3k retail.
I like the sound/feel of hybrid. It enables me to flow across the strings better I find. I still can alternate pick, but it’s more of a preference with the hybrid pick thing
the set up makes everything feel overly tight for me and not comfortable to play . 10 gauge strings feel like 12s and actually really cut into my finger tips . If things were loosened off a little would be superb
