Solid rock machine for$400, totally feels like a much higher guitar! It feels better than Epiphone new $1200-1500 guitars! Every one better take notice, there’s a new king in town and its name is Sire!!

Sound

The P-90s are a little trebly but after you dial it in, it can play anything, from Waylon to AC-DC!

Features

Bone nut, rolled edges and rosewood fretboard ant this price is unheard, it’s really nice!

Ease of Use

It dials in great, it’s a CB little trebly at first but I was very pleased

Quality

Everything was above and beyond, feels like a much more expensive product, very happy with this product

Value

Above and beyond
