@IraqVet0608 I'm not disputing that but they exist in this strange space just outside the mainstream. Known but kind of obscure and you either love em or you don't........grape tomatoes.🤣🤣
I love your channel. Even when you are talking about something that doesn’t affect me, or I don’t have a dog in the fight or whatever, I still end up watching the whole video and loving it. It is because of this I have learned a good deal from you about amps, pedals, and other equipment and instruments. Keep it up sir!
I'm the same way. I watch all of Mike's videos, even when though most of them are of zero relevance to me. It feels like having a chat with a super smart friend. He makes whatever it is that he is talking about seem super interesting.
Some months ago I bought what was supposed to be a second hand fender player telecaster. When I tried it at home, I noticed the pick ups sounded too dark... I checked the pick ups under the hood and they were sire t7 pick ups. I returned the guitar to the seller. It didn't sound bad. But it was not what I thought I was buying and it didn't sound like a hmmm fender!
I've had a HSS S7 for about 6 months now, coming back to guitar after almost 30 years, My last guitar was a late 80's Charvel super strat type with a pretty slim neck, and I was into the hair metal thing so it was perfect for that. Now I'm more into classic rock, and just an intermediate player. Really like the S7, but I must admit, some days I miss the slimmer neck profile, so the S10 is tempting. But I think maybe the next one is Les Paul type for some dirty tone and serious string bending.
I bought a Sire P8 to be the 1 bass in my guitar collection. The neck was so smooth to play on that it convinced me that I also needed a strat with a similar style of neck. Ended up with a Fender Vintera ii 😆
Marcus Miller once had a pretty cool (looking) MIJ Fender Jazz in a natural finish and a Sadowsky-inspired pre-amp. It wasn't actually very good. I picked up one as a pawn shop rescue and the pre-amp died and the neck wasn't playable after the 12th fret. Marcus Miller wanted a signature instrument which was affordable, and I can see why he got fed up with Fender. He's been with Sire a long time now.
I knew it was Marcus Miller as soon as you said "hat". Marcus Miller is a MONSTER! The last time I saw him he was touring with Stanley Clarke and Victor Wooten. Three historically great bass players on the stage at the same time was a great concert
I owned Sire S3 for a month now, and i'm satisfied with it. I meanly play it during weekends while drinking some cold beer , to ease away the long tiring week of work. Sounds good to me and it's bridge pick up is so good on highgain.
I first heard of Marcus Miller in a guitar magazine ad for DR strings. It advertised various signature string sets they offered, and at the time, Marcus Miller had a signature set with DR. I believe that ad was also where I first heard of Bootsy Collins.
I always prefer a 12" radius because my first guitar was an Epiphone Les Paul. The feel of the neck on my Strat is great with the satin finish, but I definitely realized after a while that I prefer a more modern compound radius.
Highly doubt you will see this but i wanted to give you some album recommendations and those are: American Football - American Football Polvo - Exploded Drawing Duster - Stratosphere I recommend you these albums cause i think you might like the guitar on them. That is all. Peace! ✌️
I have an S7 vintage that has been better than a MIM fender i used to have, and feels better than a few american strats I've played. No doubts that the S10 goes solid head to head with anerican strats. The rolled fretboards are awesome.
I have a Sire S7 I have had now for about a little over a year and I love it. Incidentally it is the only Strat style guitar I own. Would definitely recommend it.
a week ago i rec'd from Sweetwater: Sire Larry Carlton J3 (jaguar style) Electric Guitar - 3-tone Sunburst, well made & plays smooth, much brighter than my other S styles & PRS. had to adjust some perameters & make patches eq'd for this guitar.
As a bass player who occasionally watches your channel, I don't know if I should be angry or scratching my head 😂 Anyway, I've met Marcus a few times, he's a really nice guy. Sire makes some great sub $1k and $2k basses, they're on par with Ibanez and Fender basses. I don't have a Sire guitar, but I have 2 Sire fretless basses and they're both exceptional for both coming in under $1k.
I own a v10 ( my n1 gigging bass) a p8 n a v7 which i defretted... I have an american jazz that has become a back up really ... I think Sire make great instruments for the money ... i think they are starting to cut corners now with qc.. Had to return a P8 as the battery compartment kept on failing on active mode ... had to have a replacement n unfortunately that one had issues too but i managed to sort it our by putting some thin cardboard to push the 2 battery snug to get contact... what i'm saying is ... i'm a proud Sire owners of 3 basses n 2 guitars even with a bad experience.. i had other Site instruments i traded .. only one bad apple .... the necks usually are the selling point. I must admit the Marcus Miller preamp is really punchy n i shaped my band sound around it ... doing D&B n reggae influenced dubby deep style is perfect... i looove the Fender jazz look n neck radius which Sire took on board... I REALLY DISLIKE THE HEADSTOCK ( Sire obviously 😂😂😂)... It's better for guitars n L or H range .... I 'm obsessed with block inlays so the aesthetic element is paramount ... last but not least i think Sire are expanding too much n i'm concerned the bubble has burst
Sire is great. And LC is great. But the headstock.... That headstock.... Ooh that headstock. Why? why? why? WWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! I mean I had used Fender American line strats in the past but never liked their headstocks but that headstock on Sire guitars is on another level.
Sires really are excellent instruments. They have really only two problems, from my perspective: they tend to be heavy (basses especially!), and they're never in stock! I'd love to try all the different models of git & bass but they're just not there to play.....
I have the Sire S7FM and it's a very good guitar. Not prefect but very good. Like you said Sire fits that Fender alterative niche. I won't buy another Fender or Gibson ever again. Also check out the Schecter Nick Johnston. Another Great guitar.
I went into a large local guitar store 2 years ago intent on buying a semi hollow body gibson 335 style guitar with a $500 budget. I played at least thirty guitars and left with a $275 Ibanez that played at least as well as a real 335. I put a pair of seymour duncan hot rodded pickups in it, some G and B benders and a good setup and it plays and sounds amazing. I love it when guys with $3K+ guitars ask me what in the hell it is, and how does it sound that good. 😁
Really? They played the absolute most basic music at the lowest volume with headphones on. If that impressed you, you must not have ANY expectations in life. 😊😊
"It's a little heavy for a Strat", "It's light".... Well, how much does it weigh? Even their site doesn't give a weight range. Light Strat = sub 8lbs. Light guitars always sound better imo. Gibson, Fender, don't matter. It does have something most fenders don't... A one piece body lmfao Love your playing, man. It's a mirror of your personality. Upbeat, expressive, and happy. I always leave one of your videos better off than I was before.
Ive been using 3 sire basses And since them i never really satisfied by other brands while considering the price too (except cort) Now im planning to buy 1 new bass that sounds total modern, and im gravitating towards sire again 😅😅 particularly m7 But i really want to try other brands ive never try or didnt really give good chance on (but then ofc im afraid it will disappoints too)
I have to say i prefer these sire guitars now i own four now. I have s3, S5, S7, and got the t7. I just love the feel. Ive been a G&l guy but have gone to sire. Great Guitars. Try one and see. Many different models now. S10 will be my next one
I was planning on buying an American Pro II, but after watching this video, I'm convinced on going the S10 route. I love the look of that guitar, the upgraded parts that are more exclusive than what Fender provides, and the sound is fantastic. Do more of the full band jams for reviews!
Don’t do it. Get the Fender. Especially if you’re like 99.9% of us guitar players and will sell it at some point. These things are impossible to sell when you want something different. And they’re nothing special to start with. Spend the same money and get the Fender.
I am an old singer ( guitarist ) that does not play lead ... but I love the guitar world ... I would like to get the S7 but my rack cannot hold one mor guitar ... and selling one today is very difficult ... no money out there ... love the vids !!
I stumbled across this video today and I have to say that you’re banned needs to put more music on RUclips. I absolutely loved it. Very, very cool vibe.
I have a S7 and it was an excellent guitar out of the box. Also got mine at Sweetwater. I have nothing bad to say about that guitar. I also have a legit Stratocaster and can’t explain it but the Stratocaster is just the real deal. Plays and sounds like a strat. The Sire is great and maybe better in some ways (rolled fret ends) but it’s not a strat. As much as I like the guitar I find myself picking up and playing the strat more. Is that weird? Maybe someone else feels the same.
Sire makes good guitars with reasonable price, all the features and accessories. Plus the gig bag is way better than other well-known brands’s gig bag.
Swamp Ash Body, Compound Radius Hard Maple Neck, Rolled Fingerboard, Stainless Steel Frets, Seymour Duncan Single Coils, Bone Nut, Gold Hardware, Gotoh bridge, Locking Tuners, Hardshell Case -- All for 1.3k USD?? What are they trying to say? All that actually doesn't cost 3k+? No way anyone should get a Fender over Sire. They're just knocking it out of the park.
Imma be real. Electric guitars just needs to feel nice and have good pickups. The prs satin models and Ibanez in that price range of 600-800 dollars are guitars that will be loved for a lifetime. Seriously if you read this comment check these guys out, it is well worth a video.
The fan boys always think sire will put fender to bed hahaha that’s far from the truth. All this is just money talk that’s all sire will never be better then fender. Sire knows what they did by having Marcus as the face. Now my question has always been was Marcus really at the top of the conversation? Or did he become the topic because maybe victor turned it down and said no ??? Dope vid
Interesting note about the neck curiosity thing BUT now you've doubled the amount from that desired $600 range that you said was the appeal of the other model, so still not going to wind up in the hands of those beginners or whatever that can afford slightly more than Squier,. [whom can already afford a used Player?]
Well, the Maple neck is one thing that might affect the sound slightly or the feel a bit, but the pickups vs. whatever is your USUAL guitar sound with your band would be the more essential tone statement thing.
Marcus Miller my absolute favorite bass player. I played a Sire. I was a much better sounding and playing Strat than the Fender Mexican version. Unfortunately I am slave to branding and consumerism. After years of playing Strat copies from Hondo, ESP and Ibanez, I purchased the inferior Fender. I paid $150 more in set up and small upgrades to get it to sound as good as the Sire. Yet I sit it on the stand in the family room for the world to see..the Fender headstock. Yes I am stupidly vain.
Marcus Miller is everything that's right about being a professional musician and what other musicians should strive to be ! An absolute class act that's a great musician and even a better person ... I say this because meeting him several times he's always been down to earth and approachable ! 👍🏾
All these guitars are coming out of the same two or three factories and the build quality is really good. Not having to support an advertising budget allows many of these makes to be really competitive with the Fenders and Gibsons. Just have to get past being a name snob.
Bro is out of that tiny apartment
Key names to remember: Jaco, Stanley Clark, Geddy Lee, Billy Sheehan, Victor Wooten. There's a handful to help the memory Mike. 😊
That's a great list too

I’ve heard of the Larry Carlton one’s with the HSS config strat and the semi hollow body. But the semi hollow one intrigues me for some reason.
I was into the Sire H7 for a while until I tried it into a store. The neck profile felt odd to me it was very thick and narrow.
I bought a Sire P8 to be the 1 bass in my guitar collection. The neck was so smooth to play on that it convinced me that I also needed a strat with a similar style of neck. Ended up with a Fender Vintera ii 😆
Their necks are as smooth as butter (or silk), I havent played anything similar from any other manufacturer, to tell you the truth.

That's cool to meet someone like him and actually be able to have a conversation like normal people is really cool
The only time an import truly challenged Fender and Gibson was the late 70’s. Tokai. The springy sound, breezy sound, and Les Paul reborn.
Wdym by challenged? You mean challeged their popularity? Because if it's quality, they're nowhere near the top rn

Cool to see you play in a band context.
Nice guitar but I don’t think Fender have anything to worry about. They are doing just fine.
They definitely don’t have anything to worry about. Fender is killing every other manufacturer combined. In every price point.
since when do you have to "log on" to google in order to search?
I have the S5 and that thing plays like butter, one of the most comfortable guitars I've ever played other than their own Sire J3 and the PRS SE24.
