Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Cool, I’m keen to hear your thoughts on this one. No issues with the shipping side of things - IIRC you ordered it from the UK?

How does the Sire compare to your old fender tele?

We are truly spoilt these days with the quality of guitars at sensible prices. I cannot believe how well made this guitar is for so little cash. I am not disappointed in any way. The neck is amazing, has a real solid feel to it like my old Tele.

I bought this as "B stock" as it had been played and has a tiny mark on the back of the neck, so got for an even better price. It took 14 days to get here and went through customs without GST charges as it was under a grand.
