X6


Sire has headless guitars now. This one here, is the X6. There's a 7-string version as well (X6 7-string) in the exact details, just an additional string. If you've played Sire guitars, you'd know they are definitely value-for-money instruments. I'm waiting for something appealing (to me) before going down to the distributor's showroom (yes, we have a Sire distributor here located at Bras Basah complex) to check one out personally. In the mean time, there are no X models in store. Yet.

I'm not a fan of multi-scale guitars unless it's designed like a Strandberg; partial fanned frets. Ibanez did this for the SML721 but looks like it's a passing interest for them; no further developments. This X6 looks like a Strandberg mimic, let's not hide the fact, but it's worth considering.
