Sire is starting to build guitars

[PunkKitty]

If they are half as good as their basses, they will be a company to watch.

Roasted maple necks on the Strat copies. Not a bad deal.

There are more models here. I like that the LP and 335 types have ebony fretboards.

Wow the prices are certainly right. And they're all Larry Carlton models; interesting.

...damn...

 

[PunkKitty]

I see these as a competitor for Eastman, Fender, and others.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

Gibson lawsuit imminent.

Gibson lawsuit imminent.

No doubt.

 

[335clone]

Wow, those are some innovative designs

On one hand I can get an Epiphone Les Paul with a maple top instead of a veneer for $50 less. OTOH maybe $50 is worth it to not give money to Gibson.

Stabbing yourself with a fork is better than giving money to Gibson.

Stabbing myself with a fork is better than acquiring one of those guitars. Lordy, they're pedestrian looking.

They don’t even have legs. How can they be pedestrian?

Why do you always have to be so fucking literal?

You're really feeding me straight lines today (thanks).

 

[shoeless]

I kinda dig the Larry Carlton model. Did he actually play one?

Otherwise you wouldn't say the line.

Considering this is a new line of guitars that nobody has ever seen before, I'm going out on a limb and saying he's endorsing them in the same way Marcus Miller is endorsing the basses. he'll put his name on it, but you'll never see one played at a gig.

Marcus, more often than not, is playing a high end Sire. Every Sire bass I've played has been great.

A friend of mine has a Sire bass, one of the Marcus Miller models (which are oddly cheaper than the 'regular' models, IIRC).
Plays and sounds good.

Saw an ad on Facebook this morning for Sire guitars from Sweetwater. Clicked on a couple, every one was pre-order.

This guy on Reverb is selling a used one, mentions trans red is not available in the states so, he had to order from over seas. Wonder who has other than red "in the states".

Saw the strats in person, they look "off" somehow. Not in a decent way. Oddly flat and still bulbous.
