Don't sleep on FGN or Trev Wilkinson's Vintage brand (yes, everyone agrees he could have named it something other than literally "vintage"). I can say that unless you favor something unusual like a Strandberg trapezoid neck, you're going to be hard pressed to find a custom shop guitar that plays smoother than an entry level FGN Odyssey; the fret work on my FL Expert is amazing and they all get the same special treatment (it plays like buttered butter). TW's Vintage has the Thomas Blug model, which is on my list to actually get at some point, just because it's kind of a great guitar (I want the painted art model, not the plain white one, although some would prefer plain - they have that too, same guitar), of course, because Thomas spec'd it. Thanks for the great demo - Sire is a great brand, and you can probably get an interview with Kyle Kim if you contact him. I've seen other interviews with him and he's got a heartwarming story as well as a great attitude; he got two experts (Larry and Marcus) and listened to them, that's what it takes to do it right.

Thanks a lot for the review and the honest comments. I've been looking at the eart and the sire for a while, I would say the sire overall seems to have better QC than the eart based on the comments in different videos/forums. Additionally, it seems that these days the eart are a little behind in supply and not all options (colors) are available, I really like the golden eart...Ah I don't know which one I would choose...so many guitars, so little money :( thanks Mate!

Nice overview Elmo. I am looking at getting another strat with a tremolo. The Vintage V6 reissued, the Sire S3 and the Cort G260CS all look decent options. And alternatives could be Harley Benton Fusion III HH FR, Jet JS-450 or Yamaha Pacifica 212. Interestingly, Sire have just announced an S5 with higher specs for the pickups, machine heads & tremolo for about £50 more than the S3. Decisions...

I have the Sire S7 and i think the extra cost is worth it, it has locking tuners and at least my sample stays in tune very well. The only thing i would like is a wider neck radius, but that is just me prefering wide radius slim necks. Thanks for playing some clean, i always fastforward the distortion parts.

Hey Elmo, Another great video mate ; that's a nice affordable clean on the Roland Micro Cube as I am a fan of anything with Jazz Chorus DNA (although I still love the Plexi "clean")! Sire are a good option as they have proved themselves in the affordable guitar market going up against "bigger" brands like Squier, Yamaha, Epiphone and even Fender (Mexico) that were the only options in my teens. Whether Sire is better than Squier Classic Vibe, Jet Guitars, Cort, EART etc. I cant say as my answer is usually the same: "Whichever one feels better for you for the price you paid" I don't envy you with questions like "IS PRODUCT A BETTER THAN PRODUCT B, C, D, E...." as I see all these brands being churned out by the same/similar factories - it really is all down to preference, a good setup and the motivation to actually make music. - Gabe

Sire guitars main claim to fame is their consistency. It is very rare to get one that is not as described. Sire guitars are owned by one guy and he is on the factory floor running the shop and is hands on in the operation. I have read of guys buying an Eart and getting a nightmare. Even twisted necks. Most of the smaller cheap brands are from marketing companies that have the guitars made by taking bids from several companies and picking the cheapest.They never see the guitars let alone are hands on in one single factory where the owner hires the staff personally.

Great video! Nice to see an independent review rather than the usual product promotion. Sire make some great guitars but they are certainly not without the odd issue here and there. My Sire A4 has those beautiful rolled fret ends but there were still a couple that were noticeably sharp on the fingers. Overall though, good guitars for the money.

If I were pressed to make a purchasing decision for an ST-type guitar or Strat, the Sire S3 would likely be among the top ranking positions of my personal wish list, no doubt! Massive "bang for the buck" in terms of what quality you get for the money. I am very happy with my moderately modded Squier Deluxe out of the Cort factory in Indonesia, I believe. Having added the Freeway Switch for series and parallel Humbucker tones - or approximations at least - boosts its overall "Swiss pocket knife"-versatility and didn't exactly break the bank. However, the "as is"-quality of these S3 is even a notch or two above what the Squier was when it landed in stores over here, no doubt. Great demo and "chops" man, really impressive!

All these guitars are made in the same factories. Brand hardly matters they all make good guitars. I used to chase brands looking for the secret best guitar for the money. If it comes from Indonesia, China or Korea it comes from a factory that makes guitars for many brands. From PRS to fender to squier to chapman to sire to g&l…they’re all made in the same factories. Yes PRS has their own cort factory, but the same company makes guitars for many other brands.

It was between a Squier CV 60's and the very Sire you are playing (same colour as well). Bought the Sire because I liked it and was two hours shorter drive than the CV 60's. If the other way around very good chance I would have ended up with the Squier (candy apple red). Around €400 there are some pretty nice guitars around, buy the one that sings to you 🤠

I have one - didn't like the pickups, well the humbucker at the bridge mostly. Put some Vanson alnico V's in (HSS still, another £60 or so) and it sounds much better. Other than that it needed a good setup, fret polishing, action lowering and nut lubing. It holds tune amazingly well now - even with a floated bridge. Mine looks, feels and sounds like a much more expensive guitar now.

I live near Andertons and know a lot of Guitarists, here's my take, for less than £200, can't beat Jet, a pro might want to change the pups, but they are amazing for the money, trem springs change too, Epiphones are now good, tuners are crap, give them a Gilmore bend and oops, again an easy fix, everything else good, then it's Sire, amazing guitar for any price, go try one. Honourable mention to Fazley, frets are not good, but for beer money they are very playable nice sounding Teles, rock solid tuning, ideal for taking places you don't want to take a nice guitar. I have 2 Sire and some very expensive named brands, the Sire are just as good imho.

I recently bought a Sire S3 and I have to say it is the best playing Strat or Strat type guitar I have ever had---and that includes the American Standard. I also prefer the sound of the S3 mainly because it doesn't sound like a typical Strat---it's less twangy and warmer and fatter, which suits me better. As for the price, at less than 300 quid it is insane value.

My S3 had rusty strings, no lube in the nut and the tops of the frets were dull and a scratchy. Also had 5 slightly high frets. So you definitely need to work on them or factor in a luthier's time in the cost. Still worth it for me as the body and neck are great, bone nut cut well, the bridge and tuners are surprisingly good, nicely routed and shielded inside and the electronics are fine.

Same here. Bought the S7 from Andertons and had nothing but bother with it. Frets needed levelling, major tuning issues and a badly cut nut that Andertons ignored me over. After spending around £150 to get all these things sorted, the tremelo unit still won't stay in tune and I get major choking if the action is taken below medium-ish. A bad experience - I'll never buy another Sire and will certainly never deal with Andertons again either..

@@adrianharvey6689 haha I’ve had problems with Andertons. Same here. As for the S7. Well it just goes to show it’s better to avoid these no name companies and go with well reputed makers. 500.00 pounds gets you a lot of guitar for your money. Shecter, fender, charvel, Ltd esp, all top dollar companies.

Would it compare to a player series strat? Probably heavy because of the mahogany. I just haven’t had the opportunity to try one.

Hi! I have a question about the amplifiers. I have electric guitar about 5 month. And I want an amplifier. Which one should I choose of these. Line 6 V20 MKII or Boss katana mini or Fender champion 20 or Fender frontman 20G Or if neither. Do you know of a good amplifier in this price category?
@MrPolevaulter
@MrPolevaulter Жыл бұрын
Not the Frontman. The Katana is good, but I haven't tried the other two.

The only strat I own is a G&L tribute S 500 (an old indonesian one, with alder body), paid it 330€ used, good guitars but not "real" strat sounding. Also tried a prodipe strat, the neck is really big, and it sounds really stat, even too much, almost caricatural, but OK for the price.
