Just in case anyone needs to source a Sire neck

[rainbowreality]

Hello there!

 

Just thought I'd let others know about this - basically I needed a replacement neck for my Sire P5R and got in touch with Thomann.de  They told me they can order one and would cost me £40 plus £10 shipping.  I was a bit cynical as it sounded far too cheap but long story short I got it today and it's the real deal, Rosewood fingerboard and all. Only things not included are the tuners, string tree and back bracket but apart from that it's good to go and an absolute bargain so I thought I'd share the info!  Only downside is the waiting times from the Sire factory, mine took about a month and a half but hey it's a minor inconvenience all things considered.

Interesting, thank you! Did you need a serial number or proof of Sire ownership to get it ordered?

No, I had bought my P5R from Thomann originally some time back but neither they or Sire asked about it at any point and I didn't mention the fact when I emailed them.  I did it all independently of my Thomann account so as far as I can tell it's not necessary to have proof
