While I was trying to upgrade my gear, I was searching for guitar at Rs 60k-70k range, I looked every guitar I ever heard of Fender, PRS SE, Sterling, etc. Finally I decided on Sire S7 due to certain features:-
1. The built quality is excellent, its at least on par with Fender Player Series or PRS SE series (in my opinion its way better)
2. Beautiful roasted maple neck, and not just for the esthetic alone as is the case with some brands, its a deep roasted maple, which will be stable under any weather condition. (The neck feels a little thicker than Fender Player Series Strat)
3. Beautifully dressed frets, smooth, no grittiness with rolled fingerboard edges.
4. Locking tuners (which you won't find on a more expensive Fender Player Series or PRS SE series)
5. Sire did not cheap out on the electronics - it comes with full size pots (500kB on volume and 500kA on tone) and 5 way super switch. (If I am not mistaken both PRS SE and Sterling by Music Man used small size pots and cheap pvc plastic type pickup switch)
The pick ups are quite mellow even the humbucker and are perfect for Bluesy tone. The humbucker output isn't that hot which is perfect for clean and overdrive, but don't worry metalheads it can take all the high gain distortion you can throw at. The best thing about it is that with the pickup super switch (which is one of the most complicated wiring I have ever seen :D) even though 500k pots are used when single coil pickups are selected the output works as if using 250k pot, so no shrill, brittle sound but warm and mellow.
The only thing I complaint was that at first the volume pot worked more as an ON/OFF switch, no volume swelling, you can't rolled off the distortion with the volume knob. I was really frustrated but than I looked into the wiring and found out that there was a "treble bleed" capacitor (being the fact that I haven't used treble bleed before) I took out the capacitor and now the volume worked perfectly, with all the swelling I want.
Lastly, I have been playing Sire S7 for the past year and I think its one of the best value for money and a great alternative for Fender Player Series Strat which is around Rs15k more costly.The only down side is that its always seems to be out of stock, but I guessed it speaks volume to just how desirable it is.
