What Sire did next, 2025 edition

[BaggyMan]

Here you go, just received a M6-5 stringer.

 

Pre amp is the heritage model pretty much one everything they make except the Z3.  Bass response is huge, possibly down to the pickup pairing,  lots of headroom.  18V

Knobs are the ones that appeared when the Z series was launched.  Better than pure plastic ones i guess.

String spacing is 17 to 17.5mm (best i could measure and guess...dont judge)

Stanless steel frets.

Three switches.  Admittedly I havent looked too hard yet to find out what they do. 

One is pre amp on/off

Other two?  series/parallel/single per pickup (three way) as far as i can tell.  Info is that readily available except AI generated boll0cks. 

Scale lengths are:

B  35 1/4

E  34 3/4

A 34 1/2

D 33 3/4

G 33

String are ball end at the bridge and clamped by two quite small allen s at the 'stump' (unlike my Cort space 5 which has one larger allen bolt and one smaller per string.)

 

5 piece neck.

Finish feels almost plastic like.  not bad, but different.
